Modi figures in diaspora speech fake, says Digvijaya


New Delhi, Sep 22 (IANS): Congress general secretary Digvijaya Singh Sunday criticised BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, calling him "Feku (pretender) Modi" for giving "fake figures" of growth during the BJP-led NDA regime.

The criticism came after the Gujarat chief minister reached out to the Indian diaspora while addressing the annual national convention of the US chapter of Overseas Friends of Bharatiya Janata Party (OFBJP) at Tampa, Florida, through satellite video Saturday.

"Feku Modi at his best. Giving fake figures of growth during NDA regime," Digvijaya Singh posted on Twitter.

"Modi said 'Atalji's was a Golden Era', because Modi didn't follow Raj Dharm? Parliament was attacked by Terrorists? Terrorists were released? Would Modi have courage to debate with one of us on issues of governance, development and other national issues?" Digvijaya Singh wrote.

On the achievements of the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance government, Digvijaya Singh tweeted: "UPA has fulfilled every promise made. Empowered people by giving rights on information, education, food security to women tribals and to work."

"UPA is giving its report card every year on every issue. Would Modi please get his team to look at the UPA Govt website instead of abusing?" Digvijaya Singh said.

The Congress leader also sent a message to voters through his tweet: "Modi wants Congress mukt (free) Bharat and we want bhook mukt (hunger free) Bharat. He backs privileged, Congress backs underpriviliged. Choice is yours! Congress empowers you, Modi empowers himself."

Earlier, comparing the upcoming 2014 parliamentary polls to the ones in 1977 after the 18-month Emergency rule, Modi sought help from the Indian diaspora to win.

"Like 1977, 2014 will be the voice of the people," the BJP's prime ministerial candidate said in his address.

Modi, dressed in a half-sleeved grey shirt against the backdrop of a saffron screen with the party's lotus symbol, spoke in Hindi for over an hour. His speech was telecast live across US, Canada, Europe, and India.

    As if any Indians who lives in US, Canada, Europe, or in India for that matter does not know what Mr. Narendra Modi's ultimate aim is all about!!!

    Trying hard to their saffron party to gain power at the center in the "Coming General Elections" at any cost by telling "Utter Lies" of the UPA-I and UPA-II governments' achievements.

    If BJP and their biased leader has the guts, he should debate all these issues about "Corruption,Price Rise(Inflation) and the Scams with the "Ruling Party" face to face and not the way to get popularity and sympathy through video conferencing!!!

    Inspite of having "Global Meltdown and Gloom" from 2008 onwards, Mr. Manmohan Singh's UPA II has given "Reasonably Good results compared to the world economies.

    Why did Mr. NAMO walked out of an interview with Mr.Karan Thapar in the past? Can the BJP or Mr.Modiji will answer that?

    I am not mixing sports and politics...even the great Indian "Cricket Legend Mr. Kapil Dev" who brought "Glory" to India by winning the world cup was in tears while answering the "Straight Talk Show" with Mr. Karan Thapar because Mr. Karan Thapar questions "Any Person Of Any Field"... first the "Trust-Worthiness and Integrity and then the Character and finally the Morals.

    If Mr. NAMO is so clean in his "Governance and Development Mantra Model" of Gujarath State, without giving any "Freebies to the Corporates to establish their Industrial Plants!!!" who could have easily afforded to pay the taxes. And the poor farmers/lands owners have paid the price!!!. One can always make stories about the facts!!! but the facts are facts... and they remain.

    Modi evacuated 15,000 people in one day during Kedarnath Tragedy by requisitioning 4 boeing 80 Toyota Innova, airped medical supplies etc etc.
    and hailed by BJP - Modi's efforts to be emulated by Center and other states. Modi's supporters were Jubiliant over his superman skills
    as such feats were nothing new to them by him.
    All his supporters believed that and hailed him as a great leader....
    Righto Truth, that is the truth, righto...

    Mr Singh can you please tell us what is the growth rate of each congress ruled state? We have reality, petrol price is 40-50% more than the NDA rule? GDP is less than 5% then what else is your achievement? After 60 yrs of rule you bring right to food, right to information and right for educations, then does it not mean that you didn't do much for common man in last 55 years of congress rule? Giving the rights for people you call it as achievements?

    You are ruling India almost 50 years. Did you manage to give corruption free India, did you manage to give riots free India? Did you able to give good schooling for BPL or lower class ? What you gave is our rights you didn't favour us. Modi did a good work he is highlighting it. If you have done a good work then you must highlight it. Let's us see what have you done good except corruption, files missing from popular enquiry, suspensions of good and brave officers, putting enquiry on those who wants to do something for there country.

    ignor him..he is like "Khisiyani Billi Khamba noche". The entire UPA is scared of Modi and so can't control their emotions.
    There is no comparison of this UPA govt with that of NDA. NDA was the best Govt till date at centre.

    Diggy is blithering through his backside due to his desperation ! The truth is very clear to see by anyone ! For the last 9 years or so, Diggy's UPA has run up huge number of scams of looting, their ministers from top to toe are all involved in mega corrupt deals and practises, Sonia's son-in-law, Robert vadra is in huge theft , PM Dummy is in mega theft of Coalgate. UPA morons sold India to US through FDI, for kickbacks ! Looney Diggy can talk all day and all night, through his nose, who is daft enough to listen to this moron ! Diggy cannot put forward, one genuine fault about Narendra Modi, other than deliberate wrong accusations and pack of lies ! Modi is honest and straight, above all he is a Patriotic Indian Hindu ! We can trust him and elect him as our Prime Minister ! Vande Matharam !

    Its well-known fact that Modi is only good in monologues.

    He cannot come into public debates with media or other parties

    If he does that he will be stripped off his fake statistics and exposed to the world

    This has been proved in the past when he walked out of interview with Karan Tapar of CNN-IBN or BBC network

    India shining was a fatal tragedy for BJP in the past and Modi is riding on same engine.
