In his politically loaded speech, the BJP's prime ministerial candidate referred to the beheading of an Indian soldier by Pakistan, cyber attacks by China and alleged lack of funding for acquisition of weaponry, to mount a scalding assault on the Centre. "There is no country in the world where there is not a war memorial. India has fought several wars, thousands of our soldiers have been martyred but there is no memorial to honour their sacrifice. "Should we not remember them? Should not there be a war memorial? I feel some good things have been left for me to do," he said, apparently referring to surveys predicting a good BJP showing in the Lok Sabha polls.

Addressing an audience primarily from the armed forces at Mumbai's Mahalaxmi Race Course, the 63-year-old leader said: *There is no country in the world where there is not a war memorial.* India has fought many wars and thousands of our soldiers have lost their lives fighting for the country, but there is no memorial to honour their sacrifice He further stated: Should we not remember them? Should not there be a war memorial? I feel some good things have been left for me to do One one hand, while, Mr Modi seems to pretty upbeat about his chances after the latest opinion polls, we want to remind him what a fiasco the opinion polls turned out for NDA in the 2009 elections - Managed opinion polls do not fetch votes. On the other hand, Mr Modi continues to live up to his nickname "Feku" when *he declares that India does not have war memorials*. Here's a quick refresher for Mr Modi.
