Illustration: Jayachandran/MintThe Gujarat election campaign has been ugly, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi has escalated the bitterness in his speeches. It was completely unnecessary on Modi’s part to raise this irrelevant matter in the Gujarat election campaign. But not only is the issue old, it is again irrelevant to the Gujarat election. As the serving prime minister, Modi should appreciate the constraints under which Singh and other people in India’s highest political office have operated in the past. Should Narendra Modi withdraw his remarks against former prime minister Manmohan Singh?
