Narendra Modi 'looting' Gujarat with help of corporates: NCP

MUMBAI: Sharad Pawar-led NCP today launched a frontal attack on Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and said the BJP's prime ministerial candidate was looting Gujarat with the help of some corporates.

"A public rally Modi addresses costs Rs 25 crore.... Had he not been the Chief Minister, this kind of expenditure would have been impossible," NCP spokesperson Nawab Malik said here.

To a question about MNS chief Raj Thackeray's remark that Modi should have quit as Gujarat CM after being declared BJP's prime ministerial nominee, Malik said, "Modi will never do that."
