Modi plays victim, says his personal life, caste under attack

If providing employment to the youth, water and money to farmers to prevent their suicide and providing education to the poor is low thinking, then Modi is ready to accept that he is doing low-level politics.”

He also cited examples of a Kerala minister being questioned for visiting Gujarat to learn about the state's development model and later a Left party Muslim MP was expelled for praising the Gujarat model.

Modi also cited the example of Congress leaders attacking Bharat Ratna Lata Mangeshkar for expressing her view in his favour and Amitabh Bachchan for being a brand ambassador of Gujarat tourism.

He also said three economists of Rajiv Gandhi Foundation, of which Sonia is the Chairperson, were sacked after they praised the Gujarat model.

“So much you fear of losing power that you even sent a research team to my village to ascertain if I grew up selling tea in my early days. You mocked and insulted me. Congress should know defeat comes and goes but why stoop to such low levels,” he said.
