Letter to the Editor

There is a Mahabharat being played out today

GUlAB SHANKER SINGH

This refers to the summary of two different television interviews that the BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi has given recently. The responses given by him were clear and effective and resembled the interview taken by Yaksha with Yudhishthir, the eldest son of Pandu, during the Mahabharat period.

The only differences seem to be in the aims of that time; Yudhishthir always laid emphasis on dharma while Mr Modi, in the present times, considers the nation to be above all. At that time Yaksha, or Dharamraj, was an examiner who declared Yudhishthir to be successful. Here Mr Modi has to face the people of the country, who will decide his fate through the ballot box.

We are delighted to see such a devoted leader like Mr Modi, who has placed nation above all. leaders of such qualities are few in number. We do hope he will lead his party to victory and be the Prime Minister.
