Congress deserves Oscar for mushrooming slums: Modi

03 March , 2009

Thane: Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday poked fun at the Congress, saying it should get an Oscar since it was under the party's rule that “slums had mushroomed in the country” and but for this, Slumdog Millionaire would not have been made.

Speaking at an election rally here, Modi said: “If Congress had not been around, slums would not have been there. If slums had not existed there would not be any slumdogs and consequently the movie (Slumdog Millionaire) would not have been made.”

“So, the Oscar should go to the Congress,” said Modi, who the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has put in charge of the Lok Sabha elections in Maharashtra.
