Mumbai, May 3 (UNI) Defending the Narendra Modi government in Gujarat that has come under fire for the fake encounter saga of Sohrabuddin Sheikh, his wife Kausar Bi and Tulsiram Prajapati, senior BJP leader L K Advani said these were attempts to tarnish the image of the Modi government.

Speaking at a function organised by the party to observe the first death anniversary of BJP leader late Pramod Mahajan, Mr Advani, who represents Gandhinagar constituency in the Lok Sabha, said it is one of the best governed states in the country, which has been recognised even at the world level and no body could match the development in the state.

Among the BJP ruled states in the country, Gujarat is on the top, he added.

Mentioning Bihar, where JD(U)-BJP combine is ruling the state, he said the BJP is growing with every election held after the 2004 Lok Sabha polls and this growth is irreversible.

Mr Advani made a brief mention of the UP elections and said he will go there again to campaign for the party.

Describing the outcome of the 2004 elections as setback for the BJP, he said its outcome was, however, not a turning point for the Congress. The party had never expected this to happen, he added.

Speaking on the Shiv Sena-BJP alliance in Maharashtra, the credit of which goes to late Mahajan, Mr Advani said the party has learnt the lesson about alliances from states like Punjab, Maharashtra and now Bihar.
