After Narendra Modi's jibe at him, Union Minister Jairam Ramesh today said the BJP Prime Ministerial candidate is "incapable" of speaking the truth even by mistake and accused him of spreading blatant lie.

Ramesh shot off a letter to the Gujarat Chief Minister addressing him "My dear Shri Narendra Modi", a day after Modi took him on in his home district of Chikmagalur in Karnataka in connection with his remark made four years ago that "India deserves a Nobel Prize for filth". "I read in the newspapers this morning that at a rally of yours in Chikmagalur on April 13 you accused me of saying India is the dirtiest and laziest country in the world during my foreign visits.

"...I know you make outrageous statements. However, even by your own standards, your accusation against me is bizarre. I have never said what you attribute to me," Ramesh said. "It is clear that even by mistake, you are clearly incapable of speaking the truth," the senior Congress leader said, putting Modi in the line of fire.
