Ahmedabad: Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi said on Sunday that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had got "spoiled" in the company of the Congress.
"Congress party had become a burden for our country. It has rotted, which is now visible in its public image," Modi said at a public gathering at Vastral on the outskirts of Ahmedabad.
"When Manmohan Singh became the Prime Minister, he was a good person, we did not say anything against him. But, because of him being with the Congress, he has got spoiled; and if people like Manmohan Singh get spoiled by the rot in the Congress, then we need to remove that rot," he said.
"During the meeting of the Chief Ministers last year, four committees were formed, of which I headed one. My committee submitted the report eight months ago, recommending steps to control price rise. The Prime Minister had then acknowledged our efforts in preparing that report, but he has not bothered even to open the cover of the report," Modi alleged.
"I asked other leaders to remind the Prime Minister to do something about that report," he said.
The report, suggesting measures to control high food inflation, had recommended a ban on the futures trading in essential commodities.
Modi, in his speech, also referred to internal dissensions in the Congress, talking about how the Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee and Home Minister P Chidambaram were at loggerheads while the Prime Minister had remained a mute spectator.
