After sympathising with Sanjay Joshi following his "forced" exit from the Bharatiya Janata Party, senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh has compared Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi to demon king Ravan, asking him to shun vanity.

"If you see Ravan, he had also a good track record of development, he had made (Sri) Lanka of gold. But what end he met, with a lot of pride and ego, everybody knows," Digvijaya Singh said on a question of Modi being projected as Vikas Purush.

Reacting to a question on Anna Hazare being called anti-national, Singh said he had seen the letter sent from the PMO to Anna and nowhere had it termed the veteran Gandhian an 'anti-national'.

Singh had recently shown sympathy to former BJP general secretary Sanjay Joshi, who quit the party, allegedly at the behest of Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi.

On June 9, Digvijay had said that Joshi was "framed" in the fake CD scandal.
