Ahmedabad, December 27: Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi today accused Prime Minister Manmohan Singh of ignoring his suggestion that India should take lead in the solar energy sector.
“I had written to the Prime Minister some four or five years ago that our country should take the lead in solar power sector by launching a movement on the concept of Sun-Son, but there has been no reply from the PM so far,” Modi said while speaking at the India Institute of Management-Ahmedabad (IIM-A) conclave here.
“I had suggested that like some Asia Pacific countries which have formed small groups for research and development in solar energy, we should also take lead and form such groups in India to create a movement,” Modi said.
