By declaring Narendra Modi as chairman of its Election Campaign Committee for the 2014 polls, the BJP has unfolded its real face. The 2002 Gujarat genocide wherein more than 2000 Muslims were massacred under NaMo’s rule is a big blot on him which can never be washed away. The so-called aura of development in Gujarat is nothing but an illusion. In fact, the state’s rural poverty is still 51%and child malnutrition at 48% which is higher than the national average or rather much higher than the poorest of poor nations in Africa like Somalia and Ethiopia with 33%. The infant mortality rate in Gujarat is 48 per thousand, which is the 10th worst in India. Education, health and income levels in Gujarat are placed after 8 other Indian states.
It is a sad day for one of the oldest civilisations in the world that India is seeing the elevation of a person accused of supporting a large scale massacre in 2002. He is so arrogant that he has not even bothered to acknowledge the brutality and sufferings. History will never forgive the supporters of this man who does not even have a family of his own and seeks to rule the Great Indian family of 100 billion.
