Mangaluru: Does Modi mean Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan was from Karnataka?
Manglauru: Speaking about Former President Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed an election rally as if the former was from Karnataka.
"Today I came from Ramanathapuram (Tamil Nadu), where we built a memorial of Abdul Kalam (former President). Now you tell, was not Radhakrishnan a President of this country? Was not he the pride of Karnataka, then why did not the central government (Congress) construct his memorial?" Prime Minister Modi said. He further said, "Radhakrishnan dedicated his entire life for Karnataka."
Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan, the second President of India, is from Tamil Nadu. But why the prime minister spoke as if the former was from Karnataka, people were chit chatting.
