Congress calls Modi 'stand-up comedian'

PNS

The Congress on Saturday ridiculed Gujarat CM Narendra Modi as a “poorly-educated” man who was “talking foolish” in his attempt to rival a highly educated Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

AICC general secretary Shakeel Ahmed also claimed that Modi, taking over the command of BJP’s campaign in Delhi, shows that the local leadership of that party has realised that they cannot defeat Sheila Dikshit, who ruled Delhi for 15 years, on their own. “Modi’s speeches are becoming like a stand-up comedy circus show. It is becoming monotonous.

However, even then the BJP leaders of Delhi have fielded him in Delhi. Even on the radio advertisements, leaders like Sushma Swaraj and Rajnath Singh are coming. The local leaders of Delhi have surrendered. They have now realised that they cannot defeat Dikshit on their own,” Ahmed said.
