New Delhi, Jan 3
BJP Friday said Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's attack on their party's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi was "laughable".
He also said that Manmohan Singh ruling out a third term showed he has conceded defeat in the Lok Sabha polls.
Manmohan Singh said at a press conference here that it will be "disastrous for the country to have Narendra Modi as prime minister" and that "India does not want such a prime minister".
"I want to say Modi in his tenure has made Gujarat a model state...," Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President Rajnath Singh said.
"Such a comment on Modi is laughable," he said.
"Whatever happened in 2002 is sad, but when SIT (Special Investigation Team) and court have given him a clean chit, such statement is unfortunate and condemnable," he added.
On Manmohan Singh's announcement that he will not go for a third term, Rajnath Singh said: "PM ruling out a third term only means he has conceded defeat in the national election."
