Sobhan Sarkar challenges Modi to open debate, Modi tweets, I respect him as a saint

"Today you are a votary of social media. Will you make people remember the times when Sam Pitroda was laying the foundation of computerisation in India by launching C-Dot project. At that time, your party led by a great personality like Atal Bihari Vajpayee was screaming across the streets that computerisation will put the nation into an unemployment trap. Do you have the courage to admit that your party's stand at that time was wrong?



"While raising Bofors bribes, your party raised questions about the efficacy of Bofors guns that could have affected the morale of our army. Why din't your party's government unravel the secrets behind Bofors bribes? Had Bofors guns not been there during the Kargil war, what would have been the nation's position, can you please clarify?

"Your party had been opposing the Tehri dam as a danger and a curse. After the Kedarnath tragedy, this dam proved to a protector and blessing. Had there been no Tehri dam, the plains would have been washed away and you would not have been able to address a rally in Kanpur.

"One more question, Modiji: the amount of money being spent on branding you and your party, is the money white or in black? Will you please clarify?
