Some critics also contend that underestimated official death counts indicate the regime may prefer to deny the extent of civilian suffering rather than acknowledge AQIM's deadly effectiveness.

"Gujarat is a model state and Modi has proved himself 10 out of 10." Pravin Naik, head of the BJP's Surat branch, says the idea that Modi was part of communal tensions or violence is a "whole myth." "There has not been a single incident of communal violence since [the 2002 riots]," he says. "Narendra Modi is the only competent chief minister...
