Modi is He-Man, Lyngdoh has religious bias: VHP

Describing Chief Minister Narendra Modi as "He-Man", the Vishwa Hindu Parishad on Friday charged Chief Election Commissioner J M Lyngdoh with religious bias for his recommendations on Gujarat.

"Both the CEC and the Congress president, Sonia Gandhi, are Christians and both wanted to postpone elections. Post-Dangs, Lyngdoh had shown his bias [against Hindus] in a lecture delivered at the IAS academy in Mussoorie," VHP international general secretary Praveen Togadia said in New Delhi.

Several Christian shrines and missionary institutions were attacked in Dangs district of Gujarat in the year 2000.

Claming that the delay in elections had been taken as an "insult" by the people of Gujarat, he said, "There is a sense of injustice prevailing in the state. The people are not able to understand why elections cannot be held in the state if they can be held in violence-torn Jammu and Kashmir."

Togadia said VHP cadres had spread out to 10,000 villages across the state to ensure Modi's victory in the polls "whenever they are held".
