PM has 65-inch chest, says Rajnath
› A grand Ram temple will be constructed at the birthplace of Lord Rama in Ayodhya. No power on the earth could stop that from happening. RAJNATH SINGH , Union defence minister
RANCHI: Union defence minister, Rajnath Singh, on Sunday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has ‘65-inch chest,’ referring to bold decisions taken by the Modi government in Centre in past five years.
Addressing a political rally at Pandu in Palamu district, Singh said, “People say PM has ‘56-inch chest’ but I say there would be something error in the measurement as he has perhaps ‘65-inch chest.’ The bold decisions taken by the Modi government were never thought of.”
Amid ‘Jai Shree Ram’ slogans, Singh said, “A grand Ram temple will be constructed at the birthplace of Lord Rama in Ayodhya. No power on the earth could stop that from happening. We will do what we have promised. The way for building the temple has been cleared by the Supreme Court.”
Singh was in Jharkhand where he addressed two rallies seeking votes for BJP’s Bishrampur candidate Ramchandra Chandravanshi and Bhawanathpur’s
Bhanupratap Sahi. The two constituencies will go to polls in first phase on November 30.
Making scathing attack on Congress from Rafale to Article 370, Singh said Congress and its leader Rahul Gandhi tried to level allegation of corruption against government through Rafale but Supreme Court dismissed their review petition in Rafale case. “No one in the world could level allegation of corruption on PM or any minister in the Modi government,” he said.
Speaking on terrorism, Singh said, “Pakistan is not stopping its terror industry, however, India has now emerged as one the powerful nation of the world under Modi ji’s leadership. Now, we will not have to enter into Pakistan to destroy terror camps. We can do it sitting in India, as we have acquired Rafale fighter jets from France.”
On abrogation of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir, Singh said, “In 1952, Dr Shyama Prasad Mukherjee had said a country can’t have two constitutions, two prime ministers and two flags. We fulfilled his dream by abrogating Article 370. Now, there is one constitution, one prime minister and one flag in the country.”
Speaking on triple talaq, the veteran BJP leader said, “We wanted justice and protect rights of Muslim women. So, BJP government show strength and remove triple talaq. We do not work for vote bank but work for people of the country.”
