Priyanka Gandhi a ‘seasonal’ Hindu: Rajnath Singh

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Defence minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday termed Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra a “mausami” (seasonal) Hindu without taking her name, a day after she offered prayers to Narmada river in Madhya Pradesh.

Addressing Kisan Mahakumbh or congregation of farmers at Rajgarh, Singh said India has become strong under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi “who is a man with the 56-inch chest, though the country follows the principle of not to attack first”.

Singh alleged that Congress has been misleading the people, who should understand the reality.

“Now some people have become ‘mausami’ (seasonal) Hindus. Now Narmada ji’s prayers are being performed before any programme. Why didn’t you remember Narmada ji earlier? Why is Narmada ji being remembered now? If anyone has done the work of conserving Narmada ji, it is your popular Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan,” Singh said.

Taking potshots at Congress, he said they are holding a public meeting with Lord Hanuman’s gada (mace).
