Competitive politics over Uttarakhand tragedy
As armed and paramilitary forces race against time to rescue survivors in flood-ravaged Uttarakhand, politicians bicker over Narendra Modi's tour of the state and Rahul Gandhi's absence. Congress spokesperson Meem Afzal calls Mr Modi's visit and his offer to renovate Kedarnath Temple dirty politics. BJP's Sudhanshu Trivedi defends Mr Modi's offer citing Gujarat infrastructure model and accuses Congress of singling him out when both Manmohan Singh and Sonia Gandhi have visited the region.
