SIVAGANGA (TN): Attacking BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, Union finance minister P Chidambaram on Monday said some people were making “cruel and fierce” speeches and regretted that kindness and tenderness of leaders like Mahatma Gandhi were disappearing.
“Those who want to become Prime Minister are making such fierce speeches … they presume all others are dishonest people and they only were honest,” he said, inaugurating Vasan Eye Hospitals at Karaikudi and Sivaganga, his native district.
Without naming Modi in his speech, he regretted that “tenderness in speeches” and “kind attitude” were slowly disappearing. The Father of the Nation was known for his kind attitude which earned him the title of “Mahathma”, he said.
Late Nelson Mandela, described as South African Gandhi, was also tender in his speech and was kind, he said.
Meanwhile, BJP slammed Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav over the Muzaffarnagar riots even as he tried to “appease Muslims” with his politics.
“Before raising finger at BJP’s prime ministerial candidate, why does SP supremo not answer who was responsible for riots during his son’s Akhilesh Yadav government,” party’s chief spokesman Vijay Bahadur Pathak said and stated that the words of secularism of the SP were farce. (PTI)
