Congress feels rattled by Narendra Modi's growing popularity: BJP

JAMMU: BJP today said Congress was feeling rattled by the growing popularity of its prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi and was therefore making unsubstantiated allegations against him.

"The Congress is feeling totally rattled by his (Modi's) growing popularity and is therefore making unsubstantiated allegations against him," BJP's national general secretary Jagat Prakash Nadda said here.

He was apparently referring to the allegation that a woman was put under illegal surveillance by Gujarat police at the behest of Modi.

Nadda said BJP would give a new direction to the people of Jammu and Kashmir, who were "fed up with the misrule and corruption" of the NC-Congress coalition.

Nadda was on a day-long visit here to assess the preparations being made by BJP's state unit for Modi's proposed 'Lalkaar Rally' in Jammu on December 1.
