Gandhinagar, May 25: Calling for Gujarat Chief
Minister Narendra Modi's resignation in the wake of the
electoral reverses suffered by BJP in the Lok Sabha polls,
opposition Congress in the legislative assembly today demanded
registration of a case of "human killing" against him.
An upbeat Congress, bolstered by its performance in the
recent polls, made a scathing attack on Modi and said it would
make a representation to the President and Prime Minister for
his ouster.
Initiating the discussion on state budget, leader of
opposition Amarsinh Chaudhary asked for Modi's resignation
alleging that the Chief Minister had "misled" people in the
name of terrorism.
He said, "The electoral reverses suffered by BJP clearly
showed that Modi did not know how to rule", adding if there is
an iota of compassion left in him, he should step down.
In an obvious reference to post-Godhra communal riots,
Chaudhary said a case of "human killing" should be registered
against Modi.
Chaudhary, however, clarified that Congress was not
demanding imposition of Article 356.
Accusing Modi of indulging in "politics of contempt", he
said it was the first time in the state that
farmer's interest had been totally "ignored", which led to the
poll reverses.
Chaudhary severely criticised the Modi government for
"squandering" crores of rupees in "extravagant" celebrations,
including navratri and kite festival.
