Vadodara, Nov 12: Asserting that none of his speeches in the last one year were inflammatory, caretaker Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi has challenged Congress President Sonia Gandhi to a public debate on the matter. "I am prepared to have a public debate with Sonia Gandhi in the presence of prominent editors of various newspapers and magazines on the issue," Modi told reporters here today.

Modi`s reaction comes in the wake of the Congress alleging that his speeches were responsible for communal flare-up in the state.

Continuing his attack on Sonia, Modi said she was, "ignorant about things and was making imaginary allegations".
When asked from where he would contest the Assembly polls, Modi replied that the decision would be taken by the central election committee of the party. Bureau Report
