On Modi and his politics, Mufti said bluntly: "What happened in 2002 is very, very bad. When Modi says he has been acquitted by SIT my only question is that a person who is a ruler when anything happens in that state the ruler has a moral responsibility. As long as people see some kind of blots on your hands even if you come with food, gold or jobs, people will resist taking it from your hands."
"...If he (Modi) becomes prime minister everybody will be watching him. You have heard even some of the separatist leaders expecting something good from him," she added.
The 54-year-old leader said that "unfortunately after the NC and the Congress formed an alliance, it seems everything has come to a standstill".
"The Congress says we have to stop Modi because he is anti-Muslim and communal. I would like to know that the Congress has been in power for the last ten years. Godhra happened in 2002, what have they really done to stop him from growing.
"In fact they have facilitated his growth by the kind of corruption that has taken place during their tenure. The only thing the Congress tried to stop Modi has been at the cost of Kashmiris."
