TIL Desk/National/Dehradun/ Holding the Punjab government responsible for the Prime Minister’s security breach on way to Ferozepur, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has said the Congress party cannot be forgiven for the serious lapse.
“The Congress party is in power in Punjab. Could we have imagined a security breach in Prime Minister’s convoy like the one that happened there yesterday?” “A Prime Minister represents the country. His office is an institution that everyone should respect. If we cannot ensure the safety of institutions like that of the prime minister it would be difficult to prevent the disintegration of the country’s democratic institutions,” Singh said addressing the BJP’s concluding Vijay Sankalp rally in Uttarkashi.
“I have also been a chief minister. We never accepted the ugly politics of this kind,” he said and asked people if the Congress party can be forgiven for what happened with the Prime Minister’s security in Punjab.
He also attacked Congress campaign head for Uttarakhand Harish Rawat for saying that Narendra Modi keeps visiting the state for marketing. Without naming him and merely referring to him as a former chief minister who wanted to be the chief minister again, Singh also accused Rawat of trying to grab credit for Kedarnath reconstruction for saying that Modi was meditating in a cave built during his chief ministership. ”If that is true, why couldn’t you ever pluck the courage to meditate in that cave?” Singh asked.
