New Delhi [India], Dec 11 (NT): The Congress Party with the bundle of annoyances criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi for alleging that Pakistan was interfering in the Gujarat assembly polls and sustaining Congress leader Ahmed Patel to have him promoted as the chief minister of the state.

Dubbing Prime Minister Modi's remark as 'irresponsible' and 'outrageous', Congress leader Anand Sharma wanted an apology from him.

"Ex-Pakistan Foreign Minister was here to attend a wedding. There was a dinner organized for him in which there were former diplomats, former army chief among other dignitaries. Does the prime minister think they were all conspiring with Pakistan? This is reprehensible. It's expected of the prime minister to use a language which is equivalent to his post. He should retract his statement and should apologize to maintain the decorum of his post," Sharma stated.

Sharma further said that Prime Minister Modi's comments show that the BJP has accepted it is going to defeat the Gujarat Polls.

The Prime Minister has said Congress is work against with Pakistan for Gujarat Polls. It’s “outrageous.” This is just an attempt to polarize ahead of the second phase of voting in Gujarat polls. This also shows their extreme anxiety and that BJP's defeat is now certain.
