Newsroom, May 6: Former prime minister and Janata Dal (Secular) supromo has said that he never considered the words of the incumbent Prime Minister Narendra Modi as the latter has a habit of exaggerating things.

“Exaggerating things is Modi’s nature,” said the octogenarian leader when asked about the PM’s generosity in praising him. Addressing a rally in Udupi a few days ago, the PM had vociferously praised Gowda and accused Congress supremo Rahu Gandhi of disrespecting him.

“In Udupi, Modi said that a former prime minister was disrespected. But somebody might have told him that his remarks could help Deve Gowda. Also, after I attacked him, he revised his stand. I don’t care if he praises or criticises me. I can’t keep getting bogged down by what X, Y or Z says,” said Gowda in an interview.

He also rubbished the reports on JD(S)-BJP secret pact in poll-bound Karnataka and claimed the regional party would both the national parties and form a government with 113 or 115 MLAs.

“I have attacked Modi very bitterly. What more do you want? No Indian politician has attacked him like I have. My party doesn’t need any secret pact with any party,” he said.
