Senior BJP leader Rajnath Singh on Thursday took a dig at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. Rajnath accused Rahul Gandhi that after losing from Amethi Lok Sabha seat in 2019, he does not have the courage to stand from there this time.
Speaking at an election meeting in Pathanamthitta Lok Sabha constituency to garner support for BJP candidate Anil K Antony, he claimed, “However, I have heard that the people of Wayanad have decided not to make him their MP.”
Singh also said that various space programs and projects are being launched in the country, but the launch of the youth Congress leader has not happened for the last 20 years.
Taking a dig at the Congress MP from Wayanad, he said, Congress party's 'Rahulyaan' has neither been launched nor has it landed anywhere.
During his speech, Singh praised veteran Congress leader AK Antony and described him as a disciplined and principled person whose honesty and integrity cannot be questioned.
He said that he was surprised to read Antony's statement that Anil Antony should lose the Lok Sabha elections.
I know he (AK Antony) is a principled person and I understand his compulsions. It is difficult for them to support Anil Antony. However, I would like to tell him that Anil is his son.
Singh said, you (AK Antony) may not vote for him (Anil) or vote for him, but you are his father so I want to request that your blessings be with him. Lok Sabha elections in Kerala will be held on April 26. And the results will be declared on June 4.
