Secretary of All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS) Atul Kumar Anjan on Thursday tore into BJP Prime Ministerial candidate, Narendra Modi, and warned the people to keep sectarian and communal forces at bay.

“There is a ‘prime minister in walking’ going about the country and demanding people to make him the Prime Minister.

He wants to make a ‘Godhra’ in every town in this country. There is yet another ‘prime minister in waiting.’ “The bazaar is open to prime ministers. Apply your mind and protect the unity and integrity of the country. We will aim at making a farmer the Prime Minister in 2014,” Mr. Anjan said at a public meeting of farmers here.

Stating that the AIKS has also a political and social agenda, he asserted that people should show the door to communal and sectarian forces.

The firebrand CPI leader also launched a vitriolic attack against Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar alleging that the Maratha strongman had amassed wealth worth crores of rupees. “Pawar is the Harshad Mehta of Indian politics and he has destroyed agriculture in the country. Mr. Pawar is being paid crores of rupees by seed and fertilizer companies to get prices decontrolled. He also ruined cricket in the world and had amassed huge money. Pawar should be booted out of this country,’’ Mr. Anjan said.

Nehru lauded Earlier, Mr. Anjan hailed the contribution of the first Prime Minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru, and said that Nehru was a visionary who dreamt of a socialistic society.
