India News : The BJP establishment today defended Narendra Modi's unmitigated assault on Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's Independence Day speech, brushing aside L.K. Advani's veiled criticism of the Gujarat chief minister's action.
Reacting to Congress attacks on Modi's choice of I-Day to target the Prime Minister, BJP spokesperson Nirmala Sitharaman accused the ruling party of "Modi phobia" and said it could not dictate "etiquette, timing and terms of engagement" to the BJP.
Advani had not referred to Modi but said that given the sanctity of August 15, criticism was not in order. His remarks prompted Congress leader Digvijaya Singh to claim he and the BJP veteran were on the same page on Modi's speech. The chief minister's Twitter fans tore into Advani and demanded he quit the BJP or keep mum.
