BJP president Rajnath Singh on Sunday applauded the regime of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru after the country gained independence. Addressing an election rally at Choggan ground here, he, however, said the successors of Pandit Nehru have ruined the country.
He said the UPA's governance was "misrule" and it was CAG that exposed the scams of the government. Singh said the people of the country want reaction of Congress president Sonia Gandhi to the book "Accidental Prime Minister" written by the media adviser of prime minister Manmohan Singh. The BJP president said the trust of the common people on the politicians is declining because the Congress has always cheated people.
Singh said India have no dearth of natural resources but the Congress deliberately did not explore these possibilities because the Congress wanted people to live with poverty and unemployment so that it could continue with its rule.
He said the Congress ruled for 55 years of the 67 years since independence but the country still needs the Food Security Bill, which indicates that the Congress did nothing for the weaker sections of society.
