Narendra Modi said ‘Jai Jairam’ instead of ‘Jai Shri Ram’ which led to running around in BJP.

The Shiv Sena on Saturday said that Narendra Modi’s “toilets first, temples later” remark show that the BJP is not in touch with the views of it’s prime ministerial candidate.

“Modi had to face flak on the toilet remarks. He said ‘Jai Jairam’ instead of ‘Jai Shri Ram’ which led to running around in BJP. The lesson to be learnt from this episode is that now not even the BJP knows what stance he takes,” Sena’s mouthpiece Saamana said in Mumbai.

“The picture is that of Modi leading and BJP following. What can we say. All should participate in the toilet building work. As for the temple building work, we will see later,” it said.

“Through the ‘toilets first, temples later’ remark, Modi put forth a courageous thought. It is surprising that Congress attacked him for that.

“In fact, Modi is saying what Jairam Ramesh said earlier… so, Congress should appoint Modi as a brand ambassador for the toilet project and give a big amount as remuneration to BJP,” the editorial said.
