Moily takes jibe at Narendra Modi

Kolkata: Taking a jibe at Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi for his remarks that NDA would come to power in the next general elections, Corporate Affairs Minister Veerappa Moily on Tuesday wondered whether the BJP leader would return to power in his own state.

"First of all, let him say whether he is confident of coming back to power in Gujarat. Forget about NDA," Moily told reporters on the sidelines of an event at the Bengal Chamber of Commerce here.

Modi had remarked at a press conference in Tokyo yesterday that the NDA would come back to power in the 2014 general elections.

Election to the Gujarat assembly is scheduled to be held in December this year.
