Washington, Sep 18 (PTI) In support of the three-day
fast undertaken by Chief Minister of western Indian state of
Gujarat Narendra Modi for peace and communal harmony, members
of Overseas Friends of BJP (OFBJP) held fast in more than a
dozen cities across the United States.
The fast in support of Modi were held in New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Washington, Atlanta, St Louis,
Chicago, Kentucky, Minnesota, Florida, Texas and California,
OFBJP said in a statement.
OFBJP congratulates Modi for demonstrating remarkable
patience, fortitude and determination in the midst of numerous
false allegations, fabricated cases and frivolous legal
issues, it said.
"Even in these trying circumstances, Modi continued to
work tirelessly and selflessly and has been discharging his
constitutional duties to bring all round development and
progress to the State of Gujarat; so much so that it has now
become a model of development not only in India but in the
entire world," said New Jersey-based Jayesh Patel, OFBJP
president elect .
Maryland-based Adapa Prasad, OFBJP president alleged
that Congress party and foreign sources had been levying
baseless allegations against Modi for the last nine years.
"His vision and good governance has been appreciated by
prominent industrialists, celebrities, and intellectuals",
Prasad said.
The latest US Congressional report on Modi is an
unbiased testimony to the facts on the ground.
"Gujarat under the leadership of Modi has become the
growth engine for real growth in India," said Florida-based
Chandrakant Patel, organising secretary of OFBJP.
