Crisis of trust in Indian politics deepened because of Congress: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh
Rajnath Singh alleged on Friday that the crisis of trust in Indian politics has deepened due to the Congress. He said because of the difference in the words and deeds of political leaders, the public's trust in the country's politics as well as its leaders has gradually eroded.
«Due to the difference in the words and deeds of leaders, the public's trust in Indian politics and its leaders has gradually eroded.
And the crisis of trust in Indian politics has deepened due to the Congress,» Singh said, addressing a public meeting in Rajsamand district of Rajasthan in support of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate Deepti Maheshwari in the upcoming state Assembly polls.
Singh said Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP have taken the crisis of trust in Indian politics as a challenge.
The veteran BJP leader said everyone knows about the promises made by the ruling Congress in Rajasthan ahead of the 2018 Assembly polls and whether those were honoured or not.
He said whether it is an individual or an organisation, everyone should honour the promises they make and there should be no difference in their words and deeds.
Singh said whenever elections come, the Congress gives various kinds of assurances to people.
Referring to Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, he said, «Gehlot saab, I want to tell you and your leaders, (former Congress presidents) Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, that politics should not be done only to form the government, politics should be done to build the society, it should be done to build the country.»
The defence minister also compared the Congress with the Pakistani team in the ongoing cricket World Cup.
