Ahmedabad: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi will share dais on Tuesday at the inauguration of renovated Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel Museum in Ahmedabad. This will be the first time the two will be seen together after the BJP anointed Modi as its PM candidate.
The Congress had on Sunday hit out at Modi over his remarks that Jawaharlal Nehru did not attend the funeral of Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel. "And BJP wants Indian Voters to vote for this Megalomaniac Psychopath Lier (sic)! Couldn't BJP find a better leader? What's wrong with Sushma," Congress General Secretary Digvijaya Singh had tweeted.
Contradicting Modi's alleged remarks about Nehru not having attended Patel's funeral, Singh cited the autobiography of former Prime Minister Morarji Desai saying it "confirms Nehru and Rajendra Prasad's participation at the funeral in Mumbai."
"Modi must issue a public apology! Feku at his best," he said in a tweet, which also had a link to the autobiography of Desai. Singh was referring to a statement reportedly made by Modi in Udaipur that Nehru had not attended India's first home minister, Sardar Patel's, funeral.
