“If you have to ask, then ask the fathers and mothers of the children who could not sit in exams and demand for opportunities,” Surjewala said.
KAITHAL, HARYANA — Congress General Secretary Randeep Singh Surjewala addressing a public meeting in Kaithal on Sunday said that those who vote for the BJP and those who support the saffron party are like ‘rakshas (demons)’. The statement is likely to create controversy,
Hitting out at the BJP-JJP government in Haryana over the alleged paper leaks in recent days, Surjewala said, “The papers and future of the youths are being sold by Manohar Lal Khattar and Dushyant Chautala. They are selling the papers openly in the market by bidding them. That is the reason why people are urging them not to give us jobs but at least give us an opportunity to sit in exams. But they are also snatching the opportunity,” he said.
The Congress leader said, “The people of the BJP and the JJP… you are all demons. Those who vote for BJP and those who support the BJP have tendencies of demons.”
He did not stop here and also said that he was cursing them from the land of Mahabharta.
“If you have to ask, then ask the fathers and mothers of the children who could not sit in exams and demand for opportunities,” Surjewala remarked.
Meanwhile, responding to Surjewala’s alleged remark on BJP supporters, chief minister of Madhya Pradesh Shivraj Singh Chouhan said the Congress leader calls people ‘Rakshas’. “Congress leaders call people Rakshas. It is the Congress’ real face. I want to ask Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi whether they consider the people of this country Rakshas,” Chouhan asked.
Hitting out at the central Congress leadership, Chouhan said those who claim to run the ‘shop of love’ consider the public as demons. “Are crores of people who voted for the BJP Rakshas as the Congress leader is saying? Madhya Pradesh is my temple, the people living in it are my God and their priest is Shivraj Singh Chouhan,” the CM added. — IANS
