Ankit_sharma03 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Former BJP leader Yashwant Sinha Friday claimed the then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee was set to dismiss Narendra Modi, Gujarat Chief Minister at the time, after the 2002 post-Godhra riots, but withheld the decision as Home Minister L K Advani had threatened to resign from the Cabinet on the issue. Speaking at a meet-the-press programme in Bhopal, the former Union finance minister also dismissed as a non-issue the controversy over the alleged misuse of INS Viraat by former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. “After the communal riots in Gujarat, Atal Bihari Vajpayee had decided that then state chief minister Narendra Modi should resign. “While going to the national executive committee meeting in Goa in 2002, Atal ji had made up his mind that the Gujarat government would be dismissed if Modi ji refused to resign,” he claimed. “There was a meeting within the party. According to my information, Advani ji had opposed this (dismissing the Modi government) and he told Atal ji that if Modi ji is dismissed then he (Advani) would resign from the government. So, he (Vajpayee) withheld the decision and Modi ji continued,” Sinha said. In reply to a query on Modi’s allegation that Rajiv Gandhi used INS Viraat as a “personal taxi”, Sinha said these are non-issues and that former naval officers had already issued clarifications on it. “It is not as per the dignity of a prime minister to speak lies like this,” Sinha said, adding the Lok Sabha polls were being fought on the Modi government’s performance and not on the country’s history. “It is unfortunate that the issue of Pakistan is being raised in the elections. He hyphenated our country with Pakistan. “Are we a country of Pakistan’s category? There is no talk about China, which must be feeling happy with the Pakistan rhetoric,” claimed the former foreign minister. “This is being done because China’s mention doesn’t generate a reaction like that of Pakistan does,” he added. Accusing the Modi government of playing “mischief” with statistics, Sinha said GDP data during the previous UPA government was higher than during the current NDA government. “The next government will get a broken economy,” the bureaucrat-turned-politician said. Sinha blamed Modi for lowering the language of the political discourse. “It is expected from a PM to use dignified language but this is not happening,” Sinha alleged.

coffee_rules Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Nothing secret about it. Vajpayee had almost decided it, Advani stalled it , in one airplane ride to Mumbai before the BJP internal meeting. It is a divine intervention. After that , in famous Raj Dharm PC happened. The media shows only the clip where the Raj Dharm is told by ABV, but the cuts out the follow up, where Modi defends himself that he is doing it and ABV then says, he is agreeing that Modi was true.

Number Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 People of India have no right to use Vajpayee as a moral stick to beat Modi because the same dullards of this country defeated Vajpayee for the Italian looter Sonia. Jimmy Cliff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont think Modi was powerful enough at that time to affect anything. He became Gujarat CM on October 7, 2001, Godhra and Gujarat riots happened in Feb 2002, just 4 months after him becoming CM.

Bigg Brother Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Anyone would sack incumbent CM after such riot.. Nothing new. Whoever started it, Modi Sarkar was proven incompetent to stop the riots. Good on Advaniji.Gujarat reached new heights under Modi during those 12-14 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he grew in stature in the first term , after winning election right after Godhra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
