Modi attacks UPA, calls it a 'Nirmal Baba Darbar'

Mumbai: Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, addressing a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) rally in Mumbai on Friday, hit out at the Centre, saying the UPA government had no leader or policy.

Terming the UPA government as a 'Darbar of Nirmal Baba', the BJP leader slammed it over the National Counter Terrorism Centre (NCTC). He said that the norms of the Central counter-terror body denied the states their rights.

The Gujarat Chief Minister further alleged a conspiracy behind the constant fall of rupee. He said, "The Prime Minister should answer why the rupee is falling constantly. I see a conspiracy behind this."

Referring to a statement by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in the past, Modi said, "They said they would finish corruption in 100 days. Did it happen?"

Later, addressing the gathering, BJP president Nitin Gadkari said that the party would form the government in the next elections.
