Hailing veteran Congress leader A.K. Antony as a man of principles, Union Minister Rajnath Singh said here on Thursday that he lost some respect for him when Mr. Antony suggested that his son Anil K. Antony should lose the election.
“He may face pressure from his party to refrain from seeking votes for his son and I understand his predicament. However, his primary support should be for his son, who is excelling in the Bharatiya Janata Party,” said Mr. Singh during an election convention at Kanjirappally on Thursday.
