Congress Leader and Rajya Sabha MP Vijay Darda has triggered a Fresh Controversy by Calling Gujarat CM Narendra Modi a Lion and praised his style of functioning  while attending an Award Ceremony in Ahmedabad
“Modi’s commitment and dedication towards work bears resemblance to that of a lion,” Darda Said
The Congress MP, who is also the editor-in-chief of a media house, was given ‘Tarun Kranti Awards’ at the event for his services rendered to society through his media house. The other two recipients of the awards for social service wereBaba Ramdev and Jain International Trade Organisation (JITO).
Speaking on the occasion, Modi said Darda might have to pay a price for his comments made in Gujarat.
“It won’t be surprising to read tomorrow’s breaking news that Darda has been served a show-cause notice from the party high command for praising Modi,” he said, taking a dig at Congress leadership.
Darda, later clarified that he did not mean anything political through his comments on Modi. “I was just expressing my heart-felt feelings at a religious function,” he said. “In our culture, we always speak good about the host and this is a religious function, so none of my comments should be misconstrued as political remarks,” Darda added.
Meanwhile, Congress has taken a dim view of the entire episode. Party sources said that Gujarat in-charge Mohan Prakash will be asked for a report.
“First of all we will seek a report from the state in-charge and determine the truth. We will find out what needs to be done and then decide,” a senior party leader said.
