VHP leader's comparison of Nehru with Narendra Modi chalk and cheesy
Nistula Hebbar, ET Bureau Feb 10, 2013, 04.50AM IST


It is, of course, too late to speculate on what Jawaharlal Nehru would have thought of Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) leader Ashok Singhal suggesting that the Gujarat chief minister, Narendra Modi, is as popular as India's first prime minister was. "It is for the first time since the days of Jawaharlal Nehru that a leader enjoys such popularity across the country," Singhal told reporters at the Maha Kumbh in Allahabad a few days ago.

Nehru was never a fan of right-wingers who, for their part, never trusted his politics. He was blamed for banning the RSS after the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi, as well as for losing "two-fifths of Kashmir" to Pakistan as a result of "Nehru's unilateral decision of a ceasefire on Mountbatten's advice", according to the late RSS sarsanghchalak KS Sudarshan.

Above Sectarian Schisms

With such a charge laid at his door, would Singhal's comparison of Nehru with Modi flatter or worry the Gujarat CM? Historian Ramachandra Guha, who has dealt with the RSS' troubled relationship with Nehru in An Anthropologist Among the Marxists and Other Essays and India After Gandhi, says the comparison says more about the Sangh Parivar's lack of national iconic figures in its own pantheon than the substance of Nehru's politics.

"Narendra Modi should certainly be flattered by the comparison, but what it points to is that the Sangh Parivar has never had a towering national leader in all these years," says Guha. "Hard-line ideologues of the Sangh Parivar may be embarrassed, but the comparison is also a sign of a deepseated insecurity that the Parivar has with regard to post-independence history. Their own brand of leaders â€  Veer Savarkar, KB Hedgewar and MS Golwalkar â€  don't have that national resonance with the polity," he adds.

Guha adds that a few years ago he was taken aback when, on a walk from the library at Teen Murti Bhavan in the capital, he chanced upon a young RSS worker who had made the trip to see the museum for Nehru â€  Nehru resided at Teen Murti Bhavan when he was PM â€  all the way from Nagpur. "It surprised me because I won't really expect Congressmen to go visit the RSS headquarters or some such shrine to Sangh ideologues," says Guha.

Vajpayee Maybe?

Guha's assertion about the lack of national leaders in the Sangh pantheon doesn't find much purchase with Rakesh Sinha, the official biographer of RSS founder Hedgewar. "Ashok Singhal was pointing to Nehru's popularity, not his politics. As for national-level leaders, they belong to everyone, not just a party. Nehru, as the first prime minister of independent India, belongs to the whole country, not just the Congress. Just as Atal Bihari Vajpayee is above party lines," says Sinha.

He adds that to see this comparison as a sign of seeking approbation from a larger community of non-Parivar voters is wrong.

The comparison, some senior BJP officials say, stems from Modi's own actions to distance himself from the Hindutva agenda, and portray himself as a force for good governance. "The attempt is to fit Modi into the template of a visionary leader. You can't compare him to Vajpayee, the Sangh's only pan-Indian leader, because of Vajpayee's differences with Modi after the 2002 riots," says a senior leader in the party who did not want to be named.

"Nehru, his image as an institution builder with a definite vision for development even if that vision was not something that the Sangh Parivar agreed with, is a good leadership style to aspire for," he adds.

More Shastri Than Nehru

This recalibration of Modi as the great visionary and national leader hasn't left the BJP's allies very comfortable. Sharad Yadav, Janata Dal (U) leader and convener of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), got visibly angry at the comparison. "How can you compare two people? If one person is wearing spectacles and the person sitting next to him is not, can we compare the visions of these two people?" he asked. No follow-up questions on "enhanced and impaired vision" were entertained thereafter.

His party, which seeks to claim a secular status within the NDA, has been watching the growing signs of Modi's central gambit with apprehension.

While Modi himself has not reacted to Singhal's statement, his speech during a BJP chief ministers' conclave in June 2010 in Uttan, Maharashtra, is revealing.

"Jawaharlal Nehru was said to be very fond of kids and his birthday has been christened as Children's Day. Kids called him Chacha Nehru and it brings images of a benevolent Nehru flooding our minds. But what good has it done to the kids?" Modi had queried in his speech.

"Let me contrast it with Lal Bahadur Shastri. He coined the slogan 'Jai Jawan Jai Kisan' which electrified farmers and jawans," he added. "Shastriji, unlike Nehru, was not a charismatic leader, yet his tenure saw India producing record foodgrain," he said.

But as Modi seeks to transcend the borders of Gujarat to stake a claim to Delhi, he may yet need Nehru more than Shastri. Singhal certainly seems to think so.

Nehru was overwhelmed with the desire to make his family to rule india for ever and give a false propaganda to the world as India is nehru and nehru was india..

He did grave mistakes in the process of projecting him as saviour of india to outside world.

NaMo WILL not do such things.. he is InCorruptable and loved his country.

Ashok Singhal compares Modi with Nehru


Allahabad, Feb 6 (IANS): Comparing Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi with India's first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru, Vishwa Hindu Parishad leader Ashok Singhal Wednesday said the public demand that Modi be made prime minister reminded him of Nehru.

"There was demand from the masses in the first general elections to make Nehru prime minister... I see a similar demand for Modi now," Singhal told reporters in Allahabad.

He, however, said that it was up to the political party (BJP) to decide who would be its prime ministerial candidate in the 2014 polls.

The VHP leader's statement came even as BJP national president Rajnath Singh was set to attend a meeting of the central advisory committee of the VHP here, amid reports that Modi's candidature for prime ministership will be discussed at a conclave during the ongoing Maha Kumbh.

Modi is set to visit Allahabad next week, and take a ritual bath in the Ganga Feb 12, during the ongoing Maha Kumbh, which occurs once every 12 years.

Some sects of ascetics oppose the visit of Modi to the Maha Kumbh, saying that the occasion is not a political one, and religious practices should not be politicised. Members of Sant Samaj Swami Adhokshajananda Kumbh said Modi must first apologise for the communal carnage in Gujarat 2002.
