Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi alleged that Rs. 1800 crore was spent on Sonia Gandhi’s travel expenses. Modi said this quoting RTI replies from Indian embassies located in various countries. The word ‘Sonia’ remained one of the most used words.
8. Jairam Ramesh’s remark: There are more #temples in the country then toilets
Had this been a remark on Masjids, there would have been widespread outrage in the country. But no protest was seen when rural development minister Jairam Ramesh made a statement that ‘there are more temples in the country than toilets’. Along with BJP, Congress retracted back at this comment too saying Congress respects all religions and this was a very careless remark from Ramesh’s side.
