Cong. dares Modi to open debate on governance model
Congress on Thursday dared Narendra Modi to an open debate on his governance model in Gujarat, while rubbishing his attack on the UPA for the economic slowdown. “It will be crystal clear how much strength that governance model has.People of the country will judge.they would be able to sift the fact from the fiction,” Mr. Tewari told reporters. On BJP’s charge that Planning Commission data showing a fall in the number of people living below the poverty line was a “conspiracy” to deprive the poor of the benefits of government schemes, Mr. Tewari said he was “amazed that any political party can really quibble over the rate poverty coming down”. While maintaining that he has great personal regard for Mr. Mitra, Mr. Tewari said it was “eminently regrettable” that BJP resorted not only to the “ignominy” of asking Dr. Sen to return Bharat Ratna, something that happened for the first time in India, but some of the spokespersons of that party also asked the veteran economist to return the Nobel prize. Asked whether Congress party is ready for a debate between Mr. Modi and Mr. Rahul Gandhi, Mr. Tewari said the BJP leader was a Chief Minister while he is a Union Minister and hence let Mr. Modi first debate with him.
