Defence Minister Rajnath Singh criticized the Congress party on Thursday, stating that as there is “no provision for it” in the Constitution, the party is “fooling” people with the pledge of reservation based on religion.
He addressed two public gatherings in the Bihar constituencies of Saran and Supaul.
Addressing a public gathering in Saran, Rajnath Singh stated, “I want to ask the parties promising religion-based reservation, why are you fooling people? I want to ask Congress and the RJD party that if you have courage then do not do politics by throwing dust in the eyes of the public, do politics by looking the people in their eyes.”
In what seemed like a dig at the Rashtriya Janata Dal’s election symbol, he encouraged everyone, especially the younger voters, to pledge that they would not allow the revival of the ‘Lalten Yug’ in Bihar.
“People who are accused of corruption are going to the public and requesting votes. Sometimes they bring the ‘Charwaha Yug’, sometimes ‘Lalten Yug’. Only people of Bihar can bring the change by voting for NDA candidates,” he stated.
