Two BJP-governed states ââ¬â Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh ââ¬â have raised eyebrows for robustly implementing Prime Minister Manmohan Singhââ¬â¢s key measures for minorities, which are overseen by the minority affairs ministry. In a Cabinet appraisal, chaired by Singh on Thursday to review the PMââ¬â¢s 15-point
national plan for minorities, Gujarat was found to have put in place ââ¬Åstandard operating proceduresââ¬Â to prevent and take action during communal riots, along with nine other states.
Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi has kicked in efficiency in governance and also roped in actor Amitabh Bachchan as state brand ambassador. Many view these steps as Modiââ¬â¢s efforts to correct his negative image in the aftermath of the 2002 riots. http://www.hindustantimes.com/2-BJP-stat...93255.aspx
