Padyatras for BJP MPs on Gandhi birth anniversary: Modi


New Delhi, Jul 9 (IANS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday told BJP MPs to hold padyatras in all Lok Sabha constituencies and walk about 150 km from October 2 to October 31, the birth anniversaries of Mahatma Gandhi and Vallabhbhai Patel respectively.

Addressing the BJP's first parliamentary party meeting after the presentation of the Budget, Modi said the MPs must go also to the constituencies where the Bharatiya Janata Party is weak.

Modi's address came ahead of the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi.

Union Minister Pralhad Joshi said after the BJP Parliamentary Party meeting that the MPs will be allotted constituencies.

"Teams of MPs will be formed in each constituency which will undertake 15 km of padyatra daily. The MPs have been asked to organize programmes on Gandhiji, freedom struggle and tree plantation," he added.

    Instead of this circus, Modi should concentrate on fixing the recent embarrassing budget. Business leaders have already stated for a fresh budget to be presented.

    Really very funny. All of a sudden after these elections Modiji has become an ardent Gandhi follower. However, majority of his supporters that include colleagues inside Parliament and die hard bhakts keep abusing the Mahatma and blaming him for all of the country's ills and praising and worshipping the terrorist who murdered him.

    Like shedding crocodile tears.
    First condemn publicly and take some retaliatory action on Pooja Shakun Pandey, Hindu Mahasabha leader, for shooting at the effigy of Mahatma Gandhi on his 71st death anniversary.
    Outward show business is nothing but clear hypocrisy to fool people to gain their sympathy.
    Never act like a doubled edged sword.
