New Delhi: Claiming that it was “too late”for Narendra Modi to be saying that Gujarat riots had shaken him to the core, Union Minister Kapil Sibal today attacked the BJP Prime Ministerial candidate saying his recent comments in a blog were only a belated reaction before Lok Sabha polls.
“Modi's riots baggage will remain. It is too late for him to express that he was shaken to the core. Had that been so, the core would have reacted in time, not a belated reaction just before the Lok Sabha elections,” Sibal said in a write-up on his website.
The “pain and agony” reflected in Modi's blog is for an audience whose sympathy will be vital in May, 2014, the Union Law minister added.
He further said that pain was heartfelt, spontaneous and an emotion that is expressed without calculation.
