Ahmedabad: As the
curtains dropped on the celebrations of Gujarat's golden jubilee
here Sunday, Chief Minister Narendra Modi used the formal platform
to attack his detractors.
"Every constitutional authority in this country is being misused
to carry out oppression on me. Let them try to do that. I will not
budge nor kneel to all such forces," he said, fist raised and
voice rising to a crescendo before a packed stadium of cheering
supporters.
"A vicious attempt is on to malign me but I will continue to work
for the development of the state.
"A target Modi campaign has been going on relentlessly, even
during the state's golden jubilee celebrations..even the
celebration year of the state has not been spared. Such forces
rather than contribute to the development of the state have been
working against it," Modi added.
Modi's statement comes in the backdrop of the Congress boycott of
the closing ceremony and within a fortnight of police officer
Sanjiv Bhatt filing an affidavit in the Supreme Court alleging
Modi's complicity in the 2002 Gujarat riots.
"Punish them politically. Such enemies of Gujarat should not be
tolerated and defeated politically," he said.
