Training his guns on the UPA-II regime at the Centre, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) prime ministerial candidate and Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi said on Wednesday that those who can't govern, must not and should not mislead the nation or its youth.
Addressing the first of his three "Bharat Vijay" rallies for the day at Hiranagar in Jammu District, Modi said that the Congress-led Government at the Centre must stop and had no right to talk of secularism, when it could not provide answers to the many questions raised by the 1.25 billion-strong population of India.
"I say talk about dealing with inflation,terrorism,farmer issues and development, but no, they say we must first talk about secularism," said Modi.
He also said that dynastic politics as practiced in the Congress Party, is the biggest enemy of democratic India.
