Claiming that it was "too late" for Narendra Modi to be saying that Gujarat riots had shaken him to the core, Union minister Kapil Sibal attacked the BJP prime ministerial candidate on Sunday saying his recent comments in a blog were only a belated reaction before Lok Sabha polls. "Modi's riots baggage will remain. It is too late for him to express that he was shaken to the core. Had that been so, the core would have reacted in time, not a belated reaction just before the Lok Sabha elections," Sibal said in an article. br br The "pain and agony" reflected in Modi's blog is for an audience whose sympathy will be vital in May 2014, the Union law minister added.
