Definitely I respect the effort and count of Marathon Rallies done by BJPs Prime Ministerial Candidate Narendra Modi, but he did mistakes too.. The 11 mistakes that Narendra Modi made 1) These elections are for the 14th Lok Sabha Actual Fact: These are the elections for the 16th Lok Sabha. Modi corrected himself after the mistake was pointed out by someone sitting behind him on the stage. 2) Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel proposed reservations for women in the Ahmedabad Municipality in 1919 Actual fact : Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel proposed reservations for women in 1926, not 1919. 3) In 1947, one Rupee was equal to one Dollar Actual Fact: The Rupee was tied to the Pound and not the Dollar and was at about 30 cents a rupee. 4) Takshashila is in Bihar Actual Fact: Takshashila is not in Bihar, it is situated in Pakistan. 5) Mohanlal Karamchand Gandhi ; Addressing a rally in Dudu in November 2013, Actual Fact : Modi made the cardinal mistake of referring to the Father of the Nation as Mohanlal Karamchand Gandhi instead of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. 6) When we are reminded of the Gupta Dynasty we are reminded of Chandraguptas rajneeti. Actual Fact: Modi mixed up his history here and referred to the Chandragupta of the Maurya dynasty and not the Gupta dynasty. 7) Alexanders army conquered the entire world but was defeated by the Biharis. Thats the might of this land. Interestingly, he was corrected by none other than Nitish Kumar who said, Alexanders army never crossed Ganga and he wasnt defeated by Biharis. Actual Fact: Alexanders last battle was against Porus, king of the Paurava empire in Punjab (Pakistan now). It was Jhelum which Alexander crossed and not the Ganges. 8) Congress devalued Indias First War of Independence. - Meerut, February 2014. Actual Facts: In February this year, speaking at Meerut, where the historical rising of 1857 first started, Modi would have done well to remember that the Congress was formed in 1885, nearly three decades after the First War of Independence took place in 1857. 9) The PM gives his August 15 speech from Lal Darwaza This he said at a rally in Bangalore. Actual Fact: The August 15 speech is given from the Lal Quila and not the Lal Darwaza which is another historical structure that is located in the same area of Old Delhi. 10) Modi mixed up Shyamji Krishna Verma with Shyama Prasad Mookherjee Modi described Shyama Prasad Mookherjee as a proud son of Gujarat. Modi credited Mookherjee with setting up the radical India House in London under the very noses of the English. He was considered the Guru of the Indian revolutionaries, he said. He died in 1930, but before he did so, he expressed the wish that his ashes be kept carefully so they could be returned to a free India. Actual Fact: Mookherjee was born in Kolkata and not in Gujarat. He died in 1953 and not in 1930 in India and was cremated in West Bengal. 11) Maharashtra has had 26 chief ministers since 1960. Actual Fact: Actually, only 17 leaders have been sworn in 26 times as chief minister of the state since 1960.
