Congress compares Modi to Hitler, BJP targets Indira Gandhi

As Narendra Modi once again slammed the UPA government at the Centre, this time at a rally in Kanpur, the Congress and the BJP exchanged allegations of fascism. Information and Broadcasting Minister Manish Tewari opened the attack on Mr Modi, comparing him to Adolf Hitler. "When he talked about using the Indian film industry or Indian cinema to brand India, I was struck by the thought that way back in 1936 a gentleman wanted to use the Berlin Olympics for a similar branding and that mark of the swastika still haunts a lot of people around the world," he said in Mumbai today.
