Accusing Congress of "trying to hide in the bunker of secularism", Narendra Modi on Sunday said it was fighting for its survival with even a 100-seat mark in the new Lok Sabha appearing "an uphill task for it".
Reacting sharply to Congress President Sonia Gandhi's accusation that his election campaign was a "dangerous combination of religious fanaticism, power and money", the BJP Prime Ministerial candidate said, "faced with certain defeat, fighting for its survival it is once again trying to hide in the bunker of secularism.
"Its last hope is to somehow cross the 100-seat mark which now appears an uphill task for it," Modi said.
Responding to Sonia's dig that he was promising to make India a paradise, he said, "I have never claimed that I will make India a paradise and that I have solutions to all problems. I am sure even people do not expect this from me."
