Union home minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday termed the Congress president Rahul Gandhi taking national issues to internatio­nal for as an act of immaturity and claimed that is a major reason for deteriorat­ing political graph of the Congress in the country.

Referring to Mr Gandhi’s recent visit to Bahrain where he highlighte­d how job creation in India was at an eight- year- low, Mr Singh said, “Congress leaders taking domestic issues to internatio­nal platforms was indeed sad.” He was speaking at the Delhi BJP executive committee meet at the NDMC Convention Centre.

He told party leaders in the national capital that a majority of people feel that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is the best for the country and the BJP is the best political party. “As per an internatio­nal survey, 88 per cent of people feel Mr Modi is the best PM for India and 70 per cent have rated BJP best political party,” Mr Singh added.

Blaming the AAP government in Delhi for creating obstacles in developmen­t, Mr Singh said that the Centre was ready to extend full support to it, “but the politics of confrontat­ion by the AAP government is a major obstacle”.

Mr Singh told the party activists that the Centre is trying its best to help Delhi in the wake of ongoing sealing drive undertaken by the civic bodies on the direction of Supreme Court- appointed monitoring committee.

Mr Singh also called the Delhi BJP to ensure that people trust them at ground level. “We will have to leave al- is- fine- inpolitics attitude and work towards betterment of the society,” Mr Singh said.

In his address, Delhi BJP president Manoj Tiwari said that Mr Singh addressed the party state unit executive meeting as a “guardian” and his suggestion­s and guidance will be followed dutifully.

The political resolution passed by the Delhi BJP executive committee slammed the city government for its failure in fulfilling promises and spreading misinforma­tion about its achievemen­ts. “We will start a district level campaign across Delhi soon to expose the government failures all front, including water, electricit­y, transporta­tion, education,” he added.

BJP national general secretary Anil Jain gave tips to party leaders asking them to concentrat­e on booth management for success in coming polls.
