Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Wednesday targeted the Congress and its leaders for allegedly trying to weaken ‘law on sedition’. The Union Minister addressed a poll rally in support of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate Rao Inderjeet Singh in Gurugram.
“If BJP comes to power, we will make strong sedition laws to strengthen our country,” said Rajnath at the rally in the Rajput-dominated village of Bhondsi in Gurugram district.
He also pointed to some of the NDA Government’s schemes such as the 13 crore LPG connections to the poor, improved road networks, the Prime Minister’s housing scheme, besides surgical strikes against Pakistan-based terrorists.
Singh slammed the Opposition for asking for proof from the Modi Government over the surgical strikes.
However, the villagers gave a lukewarm response to the Minister’s speech. Many said that the economic condition of farmers in Bhondsi and Sohna is good but they want jobs for the youth which has not happened in the last five years.
