As usual again the crowd went delierious now with even BBC quoting it.

That is when i said enough and put out a challenge of a lakh of rupees for anyone to prove the BS & BBC Numbers or retract and modify.

All i say is, you may have liking or hatred towards Narendra Modi. Try the electoral route to defeat him or try proving that the numbers he quote are wrong with facts and please don’t peddle falsehoods as facts.

Also remember that every state’s growth is a growth for India as a whole. I donot know how folks can forget this simple fact. The reason the negative campaign was to be countered as remembered that a lie repeated N number of times becomes the truth.

P.S. Business Standard carried this correction in their news paper on Page 10 4th May Edition. Just putting it on record.
