Congress general secretary Digvijaya Singh attacked Bharatiya Janata Party's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi on Tuesday for quoting wrong historical and geographical facts in his speeches.
“I am surprised BJP didn’t find anyone with any knowledge of history to be their PM candidate. Narendra Modi must take a few classes in history with top leaders of BJP,” Singh said.
Recently in his speech Modi referred to Shyama Prasad Mookherjee instead of Shyamaji Krishna Varma.
Modi said, "Shyama Prasad Mookerjee was a revolutionist. He died in 1930. His last wish was that his ashes should be brought to India after independence, and till then, it was in Geneva."
However, according to reports, the Jan Sangh founder died in 1953, not in London, but in Gujarat.
Modi later apologised for his mistake saying, "I wanted to refer to Shyamaji Krishna Varma not Shyama Prasad Mookherjee. I apologise for my mistake."
