BJP National President, Rajnath Singh has said that the Congress party has no issue in the forthcoming election and is simply using propaganda based on misconception and ‘gross lies.’ Addressing media-persons at Hotel Saramati this evening, the BJP National President said that after assessing the people while touring the districts of Longleng, Tuensang and Wokha today, he is of the opinion that the BJP in Nagaland will perform very well in the coming elections.
Coming out hard against the imposition of President’s Rule in Nagaland, Rajnath Singh said the imposition of PR in Nagaland is yet another example of the Congress party’s intolerance towards the government run by opposition.
“BJP-led NDA in the centre and DAN government in Nagaland worked in tandem to bring the light of development in Nagaland, when we were having NDA government in Centre, we gave a package of Rs 1000 crore but Congress gave a package of President’s Rule,” said Singh. “Before leveling charges against the DAN Government, the Congress should come out and inform what it has done during the forty-five years of rule in the state,” said Singh.
However, Singh said that the people of Nagaland understands the Congress party’s ploy which does not want permanent peace and stability in the region. He said that “the escalation of violence during President’s Rule shows that the situation in Nagaland is going out of control day by day”.
The BJP National President also said that the Congress party raises the issue of peace only during elections and during the days of power it gives step-motherly treatment to the people if northeast in general and the people of Nagaland in particular.
Underlining the need to have a non-Congress government in Nagaland, Rajnath Singh said that in the country, the public mood is changing fast and Congress-led UPA is losing its base, and asserted that the NDA led government is coming back to power in the next Lok Sabha election.
In this regard, Singh said that the DAN Government becomes the most favorable government which will be working with the Centre in the country.
Reiterating BJP’s belief in justice to all and appeasement of none, Rajnath Singh said that the BJP has highest regard to people of all communities and does not discriminate people on the basis of caste, creed, colour or religion. In this connection, Rajnath Singh said that the Congress is the most communal party which formulates its policies on the basis of religion.
“The Congress version of secularism is not only outdated but also perverted,” said Singh and added that ‘the followers of Jesus Christ’ know very well that what the Congress is doing is nothing but dividing the people in the name of religion.
To a query what the BJP thinks about the Naga integration issue, which has been included in the Congress manifesto and which is creating a lot of resentment in Manipur, the National BJP President averted a direct reply.
“I think all the Nagas groups must be united and there should be mutual dialogue with the Naga groups to resolve the political problem of Nagaland,” he said, “I think after the mutual dialogue, we can reach on a conclusion.”
