'Modi is good news for us'

Excerpts from an exclusive interview with Information and Broadcasting minister Manish Tiwari.

How does the Congress react to Modi’s appointment?
We are happy that it is turning out to be a Rahul Gandhi vs Narendra Modi contest, as predicted. We believe it will benefit us because we will be able to establish our secular credentials even better.

People are talking about the Gujarat model.

The Gujarat model may not be accepted by all. It may not work in Bihar where Nitish Kumar was the first to outline his opposition to Modi. Jayalalitha says Modi is a friend but there is no question of an electoral tie up. Sharad Yadav says the NDA is in coma. There are ample indications that Modi is not going to be accepted even by his allies.

Modi is going to attack the Congress on corruption and inflation.

When the Rahul vs Modi mood catches on, voters will judge for themselves who is better of the two. Nitish is not willing to go with Modi because his Muslim votes will desert him. That applies to the rest of the country as well. Modi cannot match Rahul’s image.
