Narendra Modi today said he disapproved of "petty statements by those claiming to be BJP's well-wishers," without naming Pravin Togadia and Giriraj Singh, whose controversial remarks have embarrassed the BJP in the middle of the national election.

In tweets this morning, Mr Modi said, "I disapprove any such irresponsible statement & appeal to those making them to kindly refrain from doing so. Petty statements by those claiming to be BJP's well-wishers are deviating the campaign from the issues of development & good governance (sic)."

Mr Modi, the BJP's prime ministerial candidate, took no names but this was his first response to a massive controversy over alleged hate remarks by Pravin Togadia, a leader of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad or VHP, which is a part of the Sangh Parivar, an umbrella of Hindu nationalist organisations that includes the BJP.
