Better to be at God’s mercy than Sonia: Modi to PM

As poll campaign got more bitter, Modi's choice of words were same as PM Manmohan apparently to get even with him.

Countering Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s taunts, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi said it is better to be at the ‘mercy of God’ than Congress leader Sonia Gandhi.

As the poll campaign got more bitter with just three days left for the first phase of polls, Modi reacted in this manner to Singh’s remarks at an election rally in Surat that people of Gujarat are at the ‘mercy of God’ if they oppose the BJP government.

Modi’s choice of words were same as Singh apparently to get even with him when he asked, “Isn’t it better to be at the mercy of God than being at the mercy of Sonia Gandhi?

“My advice to the Prime Minister is that if he is also at the mercy of God rather than the mercy of Sonia Gandhi it will be better for the country,” Modi said while addressing election rallies in this district.

Singh at his first rally in the Gujarat poll campaign while talking about how safe people are in the state said, “If you are with the BJP government, you are secure in Gujarat. If not, then you are at the mercy of God.”
