Gujarat CM Narendra Modi, addressing his first public rally in Punjab after becoming BJP campaign committee head, on Sunday invoked Jan Sangh founder Syama Prasad Mookerjee to target the Congress, saying the country was being run by “two pradhans” in Delhi, and “I don’t know which one is real” — in a clear reference to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Congress president Sonia Gandhi.
Urging people to remove the “autocratic” Congress at a sanklap rally to mark Syama Prasad Mooker-jee’s 60th death anniver-sary at Madhopur, near the Punjab-Kashmir border, Mr Modi said Mookerjee always fought against the “do vidhan, do pradhan” (two constitutions, two leaders) concept on Kashmir. “Like Mookerjee, we also want to rid the country of the two pradhans (in the UPA government),” he said, adding, “The future of the people of this country is not secure in the hands of the Congress.”
