Congress compares Modi to monkey, BJP files complaint

Gujarat Congress chief Arjun Modhwadia has compared chief minister Narendra Modi to a monkey, prompting the ruling BJP to file a complaint against him with the Election Commission. Modhwadia also went on to equate Manmohan Singh with a lion and said that a monkey sitting on the top of a tree is trying to challenge the lion, hinting at the chief minister without taking his name.

BJP today filed a complaint with the Election Commission against Modhwadia for breach of model code of conduct over the remark. BJP spokesman Ravi Shankar Prasad described Modhwadia's jibe at Modi as very unfortunate.

Targeting Modi further, Modhwadia also said that If our Prime Minister goes to the US, Obama will come to receive him at the airport. But our man is not even given visa to enter that country. Itr is to be noted that the US had denied Modi visa in the aftermath of 2002 Gujarat riots.
