As Congress today raised the issue of his non-disclosure of marital status in the past elections, Narendra Modi, BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate, accused the Sonia Gandhi-led party of throwing mud at him.

"I can see that people are disappointed with Delhi and the rule of 'mother-son' duo. Congress leaders never give any answer when asked what they did for the country, and what they want to do in future. And when we demand answers, they throw mud at us," said Modi, addressing audiences at a hundred locations simultaneously through 3D holographic projection technology.

"But, we are not worried, because 'kamal' (lotus, BJP's election symbol) flourishes better in the mud," he said.
 

Modi's counter-attack came in response to Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi, who today took up the issue of Modi not disclosing his marital status in his election affidavits in the past.

"Don't know how many elections he has contested till now, but he has revealed for the first time that he is married. In Delhi, he talks about honour of women, but his own wife's name doesn't reach the affidavit," Rahul said at a rally in Jammu and Kashmir earlier today.
