In one of his strongest and most direct attack on Bharatiya Janata Party's Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said a 'strong leader does not mean you preside over the mass massacre of people in Ahmedabad." Predictably, people logged on to Twitter erupted in a barrage of tweets both critical and congratulatory over Singh's scathing attack on Modi.
The overriding sentiment was that of derision, with most users 'thanking Singh for bringing the spotlight back on Modi in election year.' A section of users praised Singh for what they perceived as 'frank appraisal' of the political situation and 'calling a spade a spade.'
"Without going into the credentials of anyone, I think it will be disastrous for the country to have Narendra Modi as the PM," said Singh at his second press conference in his second tenure. This is the first time that Singh has taken such a tough stand against the Gujarat Chief Minister, who has gone overboard many times while talking about the Prime Minister and his performance.
These are some of the tweets that fairly describe the sentiment of people reacting to Singh's comment about Modi.
