This will be BJP's best performance and Congress' worst, says Narendra Modi
Gandhinagar: the BJP's prime ministerial candidate, today said he has served for years as a "backroom boy" in his party and so has been "closely associated with election arrangements and strategy."His assessment for the general elections now is: "I believe that this will be the Congress's worst performance ever and the BJP's and NDA's best performance in their history."
In an interview to ANI, Mr Modi also said that strategic decision were taken by his party's top leadership. "Whether it was fighting Lok Sabha polls, the number of seats I would contest from, the decision was not taken by me. My party decided," he said.
"Wherever I get love, I give back much more," he said, promising that, "I belong to everyone."
In Varanasi, he said, he was confident that Muslims, who are a fourth of the city's voters, would "love him when they met him."
"I am in Varanasi not to defeat anyone but to win hearts," he said.
Mr Modi also said that he was never silent on the 2002 riots in his Gujarat, but no one ever tried to "understand the truth," which he blamed on a conspiracy.
"I was not silent. I answered every top journalist in the country from 2002 to 2007, but noticed there was no exercise to understand the truth. It was an unknown entity causing conspiracies," he told the ANI news agency today.
He said he "felt very hurt" by allegations against him, but gradually learned how to cope with them.
A Supreme Court-appointed probe panel found no evidence of his alleged complicity in the riots, and a Gujarat court agreed with that assessment last year.
