Congress losing political sheen, says Rajnath Singh
He was speaking at the Delhi BJP executive committee meet held at the NDMC Convention Centre.
NEW DELHI: Union home minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday termed the Congress president Rahul Gandhi taking national issues to international for as an act of immaturity and claimed that is a major reason for deteriorating political graph of the Congress in the country.
Referring to Mr Gandhi’s recent visit to Bahrain when he highlighted how job creation in India was at an eight-year-low, Mr Singh said, “Congress leaders taking domestic issues to international platforms was indeed sad.” He was speaking at the Delhi BJP executive committee meet held at the NDMC Convention Centre.
He told party leaders in the national capital that a majority of people feel that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is the best for the country and the BJP is the best political party. “As per an international survey, 88 per cent of people feel Mr Modi is the best PM for India and 70 per cent have rated BJP best political party,” Mr Singh added.
Blaming Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Delhi for creating obstacles in development, Mr Singh said that the Centre was ready to extend full support to it, “but the politics of confrontation by the AAP government is a major obstacle”.
Mr Singh told the party activists that the Centre is trying its best to help Delhi in the wake of on-going sealing drive undertaken by the civic bodies on the direction of Supreme Court-appointed monitoring committee.
Mr Singh also called the Delhi BJP to ensure that people trust them at ground level. “We will have to leave al-is-fine-in-politics attitude and work towards betterment of the society,” Mr Singh said.
In his address, Delhi BJP president Manoj Tiwari said that Mr Singh addressed the party state unit executive meeting as a “guardian” and his suggestions and guidance will be followed dutifully.
The political resolution passed by the Delhi BJP executive committee slammed the Arvind Kejriwal government for its failure in fulfilling its promises and spreading misinformation regarding its achievements. “We will start a district level campaign across Delhi soon to expose the government failures every front, including water, electricity, transportation, education, health and other issues,” he added.
BJP national general secretary Anil Jain gave tips to party leaders asking them to concentrate on booth management for success in coming polls in the capital.
