Congress today attacked Amitabh Bachchan for becoming the brand ambassador of Narendra Modi-run Gujarat, accusing the actor of misusing his celebrity status for money.

Congress general secretary BK Hariprasad, who is incharge of party affairs for Gujarat, recalled that Bachchan had earlier been brand ambassador for Uttar Pradesh which had "brought electoral disaster" for the then ruling Samajwadi Party there and said it appears that the turn is now of Modi.

Hariprasad also claimed the megastar had hailed Karnataka chief minister BS Yeddyurappa when his government had given tax exemption to one of his films.
