Modi Says He Did not Copy Obama

After Narendra Modi was accused of co-opting Barack Obama's slogan "Yes, we can," while addressing a massive rally in Hyderabad on Sunday, his supporters have released a video from 2004 to deny claims that the Gujarat Chief Minister took a page out of the US President's book. The video, uploaded on YouTube by user 'iSupportNamo', has Mr Modi's speech at the Vibrant Gujarat summit in 2004, where he can be seen saying "Gujarat can and Gujaratis will." In the video, the then PM Atal Behari Vajpayee can also be seen sharing the stage with Mr Modi.
