Modi stalling Lokayaukta appointment to hide black deeds: Cong

Attacking Narendra Modi for "stalling" appointment of the Gujarat Lokayukta, Congress today accused him of acting like Hitler and said his "double game" has been exposed by the Supreme Court order.
Comparing Gujarat's government opposition to Lokayukta's appointment with Hitler's act of lockout of institutions during his rule, the party said "these kind of people want to come to Delhi. The Supreme Court judgement has served a warning signal to the nation."
The Congress reaction came two days after the apex court rejected the curative petition of Modi government challenging the warrant of appointment of Lokayukta by Governor.
Modi's "hyped self righteousness and the hypocrisy of BJP" have been exposed, spokesperson Raj Babbar told reporters at the AICC briefing, and demanded that the Gujarat Chief Minister apologise to the people of his state.

"The Supreme Court through its five-judges bench order has exposed those pretending to be clean and practising otherwise.
"It is now expected that the subversion drama enacted by Modi by consistently playing the double game of pitching for a Lokpal at the Centre and simultaneously stalling appointment of Lokayukta in Gujarat will come to an end," he said.

Babbar used the occasion to target Modi over his "burqa" remarks and referred to German dictator Hitler and his propaganda minister Joseph Goebbles when a reporter asked him about former BJP President Nitin Gadkari's remarks seeking action against mediamen doing wrong reporting.

"You will have to face this. This is culture of Hitler and Goebbles. In Hitler's line of thinking, those who support them are fine but the rest have to face the music," he said.
Accusing Modi of stalling Lokayaukta's appointment to hide his "black deeds," the Congress spokesperson said that the Gujarat Chief Minister "subverted" all processes of law and governance.
"Congress party demands that Modi and BJP apologise to the people of Gujarat...The state government has incurred an expenditure of Rs 45 crores in paying legal fees to various luminaries only in the Supreme Court to stop the appointment of Lokayukta. Modi should provide details of this wasteful expenditure," Babbar said.
