US worried of Narendra Modi: Wikileaks,

The US revoked Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi's visa in March 2005 after his administration failed to control the Godhra riots of 2002.

The latest WikiLeaks cables accessed by the Hindu newspaper have revealed that in 2006, however, sensing his growing rise at the national level, the US tried to engage with the Gujarat CM.
In a cable dated November 2006, the US Consul-General in Mumbai, Michael S Owen described Modi as a "no-nonsense, effective administrator who has reduced corruption in public life in Gujarat".

During an interaction with Owen on November 16, 2006 in Gandhinagar, an angry Modi categorically said that the US itself had dismal human rights record and had no locus standi to comment.

"US should not teach me lesson about human rights. The whole world knows what they have done. I am at this post with the blessings of people of Gujarat. Although late, I am happy to know that the US accepted that Modi is not corrupt," said Modi
