WikiLeaks: Narendra Modi's rise worried US​

New Delhi: The US revoked Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi's visa in March 2005 after his administration failed to control the Godhra riots of 2002.

The latest WikiLeaks cables accessed by the Hindu newspaper have revealed that in 2006, however, sensing his growing rise at the national level, the US tried to engage with the Gujarat CM.

In a cable dated November 2006, the US Consul-General in Mumbai, Michael S Owen described Modi as a "no-nonsense, law-and-order politician who looks after the interests of the Hindu majority".

During an interaction with Owen on November 16, 2006 in Gandhinagar, an angry Modi categorically said that the US itself had dismal human rights record and had no locus standi to comment.

Agreed completely. This will show what counts more, minority pandering or economic development.

You should sh!t yourself at the thought of Modi becoming PM. The radical development, punishment of the corrupt and no nonsense attitude we've seen in gujrat will extend to all of india
