Digvijaya Singh slams Narendra Modi for invoking Mahatma Gandhi

'Modi does not believe in Gandhi's principles and only wants to cash in on his name.'

Congress general secretary Digvijay Singh hit out at Narendra Modi,saying the Gujarat Chief Minister has “no right” to invoke Mahatma Gandhi’s name.

“Modi takes Gandhi’s name not because he agrees with his ideologies or principles but because he wants to encash on his standing among the people,” Singh told reporters here on Sunday.

Singh said there was no truth in Modi’s claim that after Independence Gandhi advocated that the Congress must be disbanded.
