Congress calls itself ‘hero’ but it’s ‘zero’ in doing development: Rajnath Singh

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday hit out at the Congress over corruption and said the grand old party calls itself ‘hero’ but it is ‘zero’ in doing development.

Addressing a rally in Sitapur constituency of poll-bound Chhattisgarh, he said Naxalism will be eliminated from the state in the next 3-4 years and “forced” religious conversion will be prohibited if BJP is voted to power.

Targeting the Bhupesh Baghel government over alleged scams, Mr. Singh said, “The Congress government has not done a single development work in the state. If the report card of this government is sought from the people then it will be ‘zero bate sannata’ in the report card.” They are “zero” in giving a good government and “zero” in doing development, he said referring to the ruling Congress.
