"Why the EC has not issued any notice to Sonia Gandhi who charged that Modi was a merchant of death," Mr Naidu asked.
Speaking to reporters at the Chennai airport, Mr Naidu alleged that Ms Gandhi's allegation that Modi was a ‘merchant of death' was ‘serious, offensive, provocative and inciting'. "Why is the EC is silent on Sonia Gandhi? They should explain it," said Mr Naidu.
The BJP leader alleged that Congress and ‘pseudo-secularists' were raking up the name of Sohrabuddin with ulterior motives.
"What is so great about Sohrabuddin? He was a criminal with terrorist links. Mr Modi was referring to his terrorist activities. He did not support any fake encounters," claimed Mr Naidu.
He also charged that Congress has neither leadership nor issues. "Modi has been rated as the best chief minister in the country by Rajiv Gandhi Foundation and the Planning Commission. Gujarat has not seen any riot or killing during the last five years," claimed Mr Naidu.
