Mixed political response on NYT editorial criticism of Modi

New Delhi/Lucknow, Oct 28 (ANI): Leaders of some of political parties have given a mixed response to the New York Times criticism of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP's) prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi. In an editorial, the NYT said Modi cannot hope to lead India effectively if he inspires fear and antipathy among many of its people. It further stated that Modi's rise to power has troubled many Indians deeply, especially the country's 138 million Muslims and its many other minorities, and added that they worry that if he becomes India's next prime minister, he might exacerbate sectarian tensions that have subsided in the last decade. Responding to the NYT article, senior BJP leader Vinay Katiyar said he did not believe in the report, and described it as very misleading. Meanwhile, Uttar Pradesh Congress President Rita Bahuguna Joshi, seemed to agree with the gist of the article. Union Minister of State for Agriculture and senior Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Tariq Anwar too agreed with the report. Oct 28, 2013
