NCP leader Supriya Sule backs Narendra Modi

Mumbai, March 17: Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar's daughter and politician Supriya Sule on Monday backs BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi in an interview with Aaj Tak Tv channel.

"No one can be considered guilty unless proven by law", said Sule when asked about Modi's alleged involvement in Godhra riots in 2002.

On Monday, Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi rejected the notion of a clean chit to Modi in connection with the 2002 riots.

"Modi was answerable on moral grounds", Rahul said "there should be legal accountability for the clear and inexcusable failure of governance under him".

The nation needs to know lots more about the riots, Rahul has said, declaring that UPA III is around the corner and that the Aam Aadmi Party is not a national alternative.
