the supposed corruption free administration he had claimed to have provided for Gujarat during the 12 years he was CM of that state. He is also no longer so enthusiastic to continue his quip that Gujarat, under him, recorded spectacular growth and development.
When he talks about the corruption of the Congress, Modi no longer refers to how *spotless* his administration in Gujarat was during those 12 years.
The reason for Modi suddenly falling silent about his record in Gujarat is simple. The CAG report of 2012-13 (which was tabled in the Gujarat assembly on 27th July, 2014 after Modi became PM of the country) is just too direct and too damaging for Modi to utter a single word about the corruption free record of his administration in Gujarat !
The following is an extract of a report that quotes verbatim several sections of the relevant CAG report :
Notwithstanding the tall development and financial management claims of the state, the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG)s five audit reports on the last leg of Narendra Modis rule as the Gujarat Chief Minister have fished out disputed transactions worth Rs 25,000 crore, which point to fiscal profligacy and a rising debt burden.
The auditing watchdog points out that the State's fiscal liability (or debt burden) which was around Rs 50,000 crore during the BJP-ruled Keshubhai Patel regime rose astronomically after the Narendra Modi government took charge.

It rose to Rs 1.05 lakh crore in 2008-2009 and is Rs 1.66 lakh crore in 2012-13, according to the CAG.
The auditor warns that increasing fiscal liabilities may lead to an unsustainable debt in the medium to long term.
Coming down heavily on the States management of its finances, the CAG has also brought to light irregularities in the form of non-or short levy, short realisation, under-assessment of loss of revenue, incorrect computation, concealment and suppression of turnover worth Rs 5,411 crore over the last five years.
*Even after being pointed out, it (government) accepted only 2.93 per cent of the observation and made a recovery of only 0.17 per cent. Seven years after introduction of Value Added Tax (VAT) in 2006 some systems still remain to be finalised in the absence of which the input tax credit (ITC) availed by dealers of commodities cannot be authenticated,* the CAG reports say.
The arrears in collection of VAT, the report states, doubled from Rs 8,352 crore in 2007 to Rs 16,566 crore by the close of financial year 2012.
Notwithstanding allegations by Gujarats Modi government that the former Congress-led Union government had given short-shrift to the state in issue of grants and other issues, the CAG has found that huge grants went simply unused.
The central audit watchdog said that grants of over Rs 13,049 crore remained un-utilised during the financial years 1999-2000 and 2011-2012.

The state governments big claims of magical turnaround of public sector undertakings have also come under the scanner of the CAG that has pointed to losses of a whopping Rs 4,892 crore.
*It was controllable,* rued the CAG.
The CAG also found direct evidence of corruption in Gujarats overtures to crony capitalists. The CAG found that the Gujarat state maritime board and the Gujarat Urja Vikas gave undue benefits to Reliance Petroleum worth Rs. 650 crores and to Essar Power worth Rs. 587.5 crores. More reason for M/s. Transparency International to have ranked Gujarat as one of the most corrupt states in India consistently for the past decade !
More reason why Narendra Modi tried so persistently and so determinedly to amend the state Lok Ayukta Act in order to dilute that bodys jurisdictional powers !

What the leaders(?) of the party you support do for more than six decades and want an inexperienced, immature person to head that party inspite of the fact that they faced the worst ever poll debacle under his leadership(?).
Can the "saint"please spend some time with the wretched family at Dadri, whose bread winner was lynched against all tenets of humanity and law ? Of course it's not Mr Modi's fault if the sycophants in his party go over the top, but a saintly gesture would help at this stage.
