PATNA: The Muslims in BJP-ruled Gujarat were "prosperous" in comparison to their brethrens in the Left Front ruled West Bengal, the BJP spokesman Ravi Shankar Prasad claimed here today.
"The growth rate of Muslims in terms of their prosperity is the highest in Gujarat and the poorest in West Bengal being lorded by the 'secular' forces," he told reporters here.
Prasad made the remark in defence of Narendra Modi in reply to a question about the jitters among the minority community about the latter's visit to Bihar to attend the BJP national executive.
"Modi will attend the two-day national executive and address a rally at the historic Gandhi Maidan here on June 13," Prasad said.
The BJP national spokesman refused to answer a volley of question on the image of the Gujarat Chief Minister and the reservation about him among the Muslims.
