June 03, 2013 13:26

The BJP reiterated that a recent assessment of Gujarat Chief Minister Narenda Modi offered by senior leader LK Advani were not a thinly-veiled attack

"Advani-ji's remarks have been misinterpreted. He did not praise Shivraj Singh Chouhan to put Modi down," BJP President Rajnath Singh said at a press conference in Hyderabad today.

Advani praised the Madhya Pradesh chief minister for the state's economic development. Modi, he said, had done well in Gujarat, but Madhya Pradesh was seeped in poverty when Chouhan took over in 2005.
