Not afraid of anyone, says Congress

New Delhi, June 9: As the BJP named Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi as its campaign chief for the Lok Sabha polls, the Congress Sunday retorted that it was not afraid of anyone.

"We are not afraid of anybody. We will be victorious in the 2014 elections," Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Rajeev Shukla told reporters.

The announcement of Modi's appointment was made by Bharatiya Janata Party president Rajnath Singh in Goa. After being named chairman of the BJP campaign committee for the 2014 Lok Sabha election, Gujaraj Chief Minister Narendra Modi Sunday vowed to work for a "Congress-free India".

"Senior leaders have reposed faith in me. We will leave no stone unturned for Congress Mukt Bharat Nirman (Congress-free national development). Thanks for support and blessings," tweeted Modi.
