Kapil Sibal: 'Modi should apologize for telling lies'
by Guest Mon Nov 04, 2013 6:30 am
“We are not used to telling lies before the public; we speak on the basis of facts and data,” Sibal told media here.
“Modi lied that China spends 20 percent on education, but it actually spent 4 percent, Modi never apologized for the lie,” he added...
Sibal also took on the BJP prime ministerial candidate Modi over his knowledge of history.
“He doesn't even know Chandragupta Maurya was from Gupta dynasty and that Takshila is in Pakistan,” said Sibal.
“A man who doesn't even know his country's history, how can he run the nation?” he asked.

Biggest Joke by Sibal. The Nation had seen the kind of misleads, promises and outright lies, reversals and all other nautanki by Sibal & Khurshid teams during the Anna movement. They should be the last guys in the political ranks to talk of truth.Rashmun wrote:“We are not used to telling lies before the public; we speak on the basis of facts and data,” Sibal told media here.

If knowing History well and perfectly (is there anyone who can even claim that) is the criteria to run the Nation then Historians should be running it and Sibal should explain why an Economist was running the same for two terms. It is one thing that a stupid leader makes such headless statements and another that outright idiots keep publicising the same without applying even an iota of their own grey matter.

Deliberate or Genuine mistake on his speech writers or fact givers part or even his part. Exaggerations both in claiming their success as well as showing down oppositions achievements had become norm of the mainstream political discourse in India (thanks to the Congress party for proliferating this culture across the entire system). I find it silly and laughable if the original and long running sinners are pointing fingers at the recent ones.Rashmun wrote:

Now look at Modi. Going by his political rhetoric, I get the impression that he is God himself who has descended on earth. His governance in Gujarat is apparently exemplary (no one else is even close). His rising from a poor chai seller to corporate India’s biggest hero is the stuff of pulp fiction (again, no one else has achieved such a feat). His ability to connect with people, his grip on subject matters that people can relate with, all seem just impossible to replicate. Maybe that’s why a simple person like Lata Mangeshkar said what she did, taken in as she must be with the initial euphoria. Why, he even makes short shrift of his key opponent Rahul Gandhi, who appears to have so many fault lines, and none of his strengths! Well Modi is coming apart….and how.
Well, I travelled to Ahmedabad yesterday and was shocked with the state of the city. In a city of nearly 75 lacs population, and one in which there are nearly 10 lac scooters/bikes/cars, it’s famed BRTS is used by just about 1.25 lac people. The common refrain on the streets is that the BRTS is a great showpiece, especially after Modi showed it as proof of good governance, but in reality is a big nuisance. The BRTS corridor takes 50% of the road space, but caters to <10% of road users. Has it led to more people shunning their private modes of transport? No way. What has happened to the rest of the traffic? Its become worse. There are jams innumerable, brawls all the time, even abuses showered by youngsters on law abiding elders….in short, there is huge stress on the roads.
Then take this thing about basic decency. Last night, the firecrackers – the really loud ones (inspired by Modi I am sure!) – kept going off till 2 am inside of an apartment complex with buildings in a circular layout (leading to even more amplification of the sound). In Mumbai on the other hand, Diwali is much quieter, and definitely celebrated within decent hours. There is a hospital in the vicinity of where I stay. What about the patients there? Well, that’s their problem. Why did they fall sick during Diwali!
Then just look at the kind of language youngsters have started to speak. Youngsters follow those they see, and the Modi rhetoric in Ahmedabad is so strong, the language matches exactly his! They refuse to accept a counter point of view, are happy to shower the choicest of abuses on you, and are even willing to threater dire consequences if you persist with your argument. Modi is a product of this crowd, and vice versa. When I expressed my anguish on this subject on twitter, one person even said “Go back to Mumbai”. Made me wonder what would happen if Modi did become PM. Would I have to leave the country?
Forget Ahmedabad. Most of Modi’s governance is fake. He is now so smug he has started becoming unprepared. He shoots and scoots because he is shallow. A few days back TOI exposed that the Congress had spent as much on Patel’s birth anniversaries as it had on Nehru’s, proving Modi’s charge that it had forgotten Patel wrong. Today’s TOI says that Modi hasn’t even understood Patel. The relationship Patel and Nehru shared – having differences but knowing how to resolve them – is something that is beyond the BJP/RSS brand of politics. But on the most important subject – their views on RSS/Hindu Mahasabha – both were united. Did Modi read all this? Oh sorry….now that’s expecting too much! The question should probably be posed to his script writer!

BTW, why did you confidently say that Indian muslim population was 15% in 1951? Was it a lie ?
Hey..perhaps, Modi's people are searching for evidence and will submit once they find it in a day, week, month or a year.....Rashmun wrote:“We are not used to telling lies before the public; we speak on the basis of facts and data,” Sibal told media here.
“Modi lied that China spends 20 percent on education, but it actually spent 4 percent, Modi never apologized for the lie,” he added...
Why did Modi say that China spends 20% of its GDP on education when the actual figure is only 4%?

The official Chinese news agency Xinhua has said China spends 4% of its GDP on education. This was pointed out by Tharoor. Regarding the stats I gave earlier, I don't have all the references handy as I told you. But I did give you references which showed clearly that the Muslim population in India is not growing faster than the Hindu population.Marathadi-Saamiyaar wrote:Rashmun wrote:smArtha wrote:Hey..perhaps, Modi's people are searching for evidence and will submit once they find it in a day, week, month or a year.....Rashmun wrote:“We are not used to telling lies before the public; we speak on the basis of facts and data,” Sibal told media here.
