 "Under Modi, there is no scope for debate, dissent: Chavan")
Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithivraj Chavan, in a searing attack on Narendra Modi, today said BJP PM nominee's style of functioning has left Corporate India worried as it leaves no room for debate and dissent.
"Corporate India has realised that under Modi, there is no scope for debate and dissent. People of India have realised that Modi's leadership is dictatorial style," Chavan told reporters.
According to him, people have realised that the upcoming general elections were a battle of ideologies and which will decide the future of the country.
"His concept is I am the party and I am the manifesto.
There is no need for discussions and deliberations." Hitting out at main Opposition party for its "ideological confusion", Chavan said a section of BJP wanted to focus on development issues and keep the issues of Uniform Civil Code, Ram temple and Article 370 on the back burner.
