NEW DELHI, Jan 16: Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday hit out at Congress, calling the grand old party’s act of taking the nation’s issues to other countries as an act of “immaturity” and said that’s why people are rejecting them.
“By taking national issues to international forums, Congress leadership has shown its immaturity and people are repeatedly rejecting Congress in polls,” Rajnath Singh said while addressing the Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers at its national executive meeting in New Delhi.
His comments were in response to Congress president Rahul Gandhi’s recent visit to Bahrain where he highlighted how job creation in India is at an eight-year low.
While addressing the Indian diaspora in Bahrain, the Congress chief stated that the two threats facing India under the leadership of Narendra Modi are inability to create jobs and the rise in the forces of hatred and division.
Singh also heaped praise on PM Modi and BJP chief Amit Shah. “Both of them have exemplary organisational skills and it is showing results. Now, we have 19 state governments today,” he said.
The Home Minister also targeted the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Delhi over the confrontation politics. “Centre is ready to extend all support to Delhi government but it is sad that the politics of confrontation run by Delhi government is acting as an obstacle.”
“We are trying best to help Delhi in sealing matter,” he said.
Referring to a survey conducted by the Pew Research Centre last year, Singh hailed his government’s work. “The world and the people of the country today feel BJP is the best party to govern India. An international survey has shown 88 per cent feel Narendra Modi is best the Prime Minister for India… while 70 per cent people have rated BJP as best political party.”
He also said that today India is amongst the fastest growing economy with stabilised GDP (gross Domestic Product) and greater ease of doing business. “Now, we have highest foreign reserves as ever,” he said.
