Kolkata: The BJP’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi is a “bully” and an “absolute authoritarian”, historian Ramchandra Guha said on Wednesday. Guha said the Gujarat chief minister could “damage” the Indian democracy, but not “destroy” it. “He is a bully and a bigot, and I detest him. Unlike others, I don’t believe he will change, because at 62 you cannot have a personality transformation,” Guha said at a session at the Kolkata Literary Meet. Alleging that intellectual freedom was suppressed in Gujarat, Guha hoped the country would not succumb to “fascism” if the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader comes to power. “If you look at his behaviour in Gujarat, where intellectual freedom is suppressed, when he talks he says ‘Main, mujhe, mera, maine’ (I, me and myself), he takes credit for everything,” Guha noted
