Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday said that family comes first for the ruling DMK and Congress whereas nation always remains the top priority for the BJP.
While campaigning for NDA candidate A. Ashwathaman in Tiruvannamalai, Mr. Singh said that the alliance between Congress and DMK was always to promote their families. “The Congress - DMK combine divides the country into north and south politically and culturally whereas BJP unites people from all directions for India’s development,” he said.
Prior to 2014 when Congress was at the centre, the growth of the economy was slow and appropriate decisions were not taken to accelerate its growth. All that changed after the NDA came to power. “Now, India is the world’s fifth fastest growing economy. By 2027, the country aims to become the third fastest economy in the world,” he said.
