[1]Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi on Monday took potshots at Union minister Shashi Tharoor’s personal life, saying his wife was once his “50-crore-rupee girlfriend”, a day after he made a comeback in the Union Cabinet reshuffle.
“Wah kya girlfriend hai. Apne kabhi dekha hai 50 crore ka girlfriend?” (What a girlfriendI Have you ever seen a 50-crore girlfriend?), he said at an election rally, in an apparent attack on Tharoor’s wife Sunanda Pushkar.
“There was a Congress leader who was a minister. He was accused of amassing wealth from cricket. He had said in Parliament that he is not connected to the Rs 50 crore in the lady’s name,” the BJP stalwart said in an apparent reference to Mr Tharoor in the context of the IPL controversy involving Ms Pushkar in 2010. Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi took a swipe at Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, calling him “maun (silent) Mohan Singh” for his alleged silence on price rise and inflation. He also accused Sonia of being insensitive and unconcerned about the plight of women reeling under price rise.
