On Sunday, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi known to have endeavored to induce the people to expel the domineering Congress government. Furthermore, Modi, chairman of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) election campaign panel took conform at Prime Minister Manmohan Singh as well as Congress president Sonia Gandhi. Modi while emphasizing about Manmohan Singh and Sonia Gandhi expressed that Congress ek nirankush party hai (the Congress is an domineering party) while there are two pradhans in Delhi even though he don’t know which one is real. Modi was addressing his first public rally in Punjab subsequent to his elevation in the BJP.
The sankalp rally was held to mark the 60th death anniversary of Jana Sangh founder Shyama Prasad Mookerjee in this town on the Punjab-Jammu and Kashmir border. Modi said that the future of the people of this country is not secure in the hands of the Congress and therefore he want to ask the prime minister how is he running the country. We cannot let this country fall further into danger. He stressed, “We (BJP) unite people. We unite parties and hearts. We do not do vote-bank politics.” He was known to have added that the UPA government had fallen short of success to take any strong steps on issues like the killing of Sarabjit Singh (in a Lahore prison), the beheading of Indian soldiers or the killing of poor fishermen close to the Kerala coast by Italian marines. Modi asked questions about why the accused in the Purulia arms-drop case are still roaming around scot-free in their own country. What are we (government) doing?
Modi continued saying that that the UPA government had failed to provide adequate employment to youth. They have not been able to provide even half the number of jobs provided during the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government (1999-2004).Had the Vajpayee government come back to power in the 2004 general elections, the issue would have been addressed. Things would have been different in Kashmir now. Kashmiri Pandits would have got their rights and respect at the same time the youth of Kashmir would have been part of the national mainstream. He said that Mookerjee had always fought against the do vidhan, do pradhan (two constitutions, two leaders) concept related to Jammu and Kashmir at the same time even sacrificed his life for the cause.
Modi said like Shyama Prasad Mookerjee, we also want to disembarrass the country of the two pradhans. Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal and BJP leader Shanta Kumar were present even though the entire top national leadership of the BJP did not attend the rally.
