New Delhi: The BJP faced a major embarrassment yesterday when whistle-blower website WikiLeaks clarified that BJP’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi was never described as ‘incorruptible’ or ‘the lone honest Indian politician’ in the US diplomatic cables released by the website in 2011.

In a series of tweets posted early Monday morning, WikiLeaks said the US cables, sent by Mumbai Consular General Michael S Owen in 2006, had only quoted Rajkot Congress Party leader Manoharsinh Jadeja.
