Modi playing polarisation politics in NE: Sharma

Sharma said that Modi is known for "loud and false" claims and "theatrical" actions.

"That is what he is all about. He is not a man of substance who understands India. You can not expect Modi to understand North East or for that matter India as a whole," he said.

"He is a demagogue, divisive personality...it is now for the people to judge him. I think even the BJP leadership should be worried that what kind of obsessed individual they are projecting. But I know they are helpless because it is the RSS which has decided and foisted Modi on them. They had no other option but to rubber stamp Modi," Sharma said.

On NCP leader Sharad Pawar statement that he will not go with Modi, Sharma said NCP is a strong ally of Congress.

"NCP will not embrace the ideology and philosophical approach (of Modi) which is repugnant to the mainstream India," he said.
