Bharuch (Gujarat), Nov 7: Ruling out differences between himself and senior party colleague L.K. Advani, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi today accused the media of playing into the hands of the ruling Congress and sensationalising news.
Addressing a rally here today as part of Advani's ‘Jan Chetna Yatra', he reacted to reports of friction between him and the BJP veteran and said these had been created by the media during its coverage of the Yatra yesterday.
“It is all a handiwork of the media barons,” Modi said, in the presence of Advani whom he accompanied in the specially-configured bus throughout the Yatra yesterday and today to drive home the point that all was well between the two.
He was reacting to reports that there were cold vibes between him and Advani, both said to be in the race for the prime minister's post, despite his welcoming him in Vapi with garland.
