The Congress general secretary said, “Modi is slowly distancing from his fanatic (kattarpanthi) ideology. It might be late but if he is now realising that a fanatic ideology is not acceptable to the country, I am happy about it.
“Since he has realised it, he is now moving towards the ideology of Atal ji. That is why he is talking of inclusiveness in his speeches,” Singh said.
Maintaining that the fight of Congress is with the ideology and not personality, he said that since Modi has realised that the country will not accept any fanatic ideology, “hence a change is coming in his ideology.”
He added, “from a fanatic ideology, he is coming close to the ideology of Atal ji and talking about inclusiveness. This is Irani's influence. Due to her company, Modi's ideology is undergoing a change.”
The barbs between Singh and Irani continued as the BJP leader said that this also reflects the difference in the nature of leadership in the two parties as while in the BJP even a small worker is heard, Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi does not listen to even a senior leader like Digvijay Singh.
The Congress leader, however, said that Gandhi has his own style and he does not need to prove his inclusive ideology, which has come naturally to him.
