A Left MP, A P Abdullakutty, has showered praises on Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, which may leave the Left leadership red in the face.

The CPM Lok Sabha Muslim MP from Kerala’s Cannanore even cited brand Modi as the model for promoting development. He was addressing the Dubai Media Forum on Sunday.

Abdullakutty said Modi has made Gujarat the ‘top investor-friendly state and one should learn lessons from him on how to behave with investors’.

The MP’s comment was like rubbing salt on the wounds of the West Bengal government over the loss of Tata’s Nano project to Gujarat.
