What Mamata Can Learn From Modi's Approach During An Ahmedabad Event in 2013

News 18  

There could not have been a better setting to commemorate Subhas Chandra Bose’s 125th birth anniversary celebrations than Victoria Memorial in Kolkata. The timing of the programme was also impeccable – India was less than a year away from elections and the NDA’s prime ministerial candidate was Modi. He did make a political point- lamenting why Sardar Patel was not India’s first Prime Minister but it was done without bringing anybody else down. Dr Manmohan Singh, on his part also played to the Congress script, highlighting Sardar Patel’s secular credentials, among other things. The incidents in Ahmedabad in 2013 and Kolkata in 2021 had many similarities- birth anniversary programmes of leading figures of the Indian freedom struggle, the PM and CM of the day belonging to different parties.
