Expressing surprise over the ruling Congress Party unnecessarily dragging Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi''s name in controversies, the Samajwadi Party (SP) on Friday said it is not healthy in politics to play around with a name.

Samajwadi Party leader Naresh Agarwal, who was commenting on Union Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh''s remark that Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi is ''India's first authentic fascist'', said it is not healthy in politics to play around with a name

"I have no idea why the Congress Party is scared of Narendra Modi? It is also not understandable why Congress leaders are dragging Modi''s name in controversy. It is not healthy in politics to play around with a name. Such statements should not be given out so blatantly and the discussion around Modi should be stopped," he said.
