Congress outdated, losing relevance: Rajnath Singh

Hyderabad: Criticising the Congress for becoming ‘outdated’ and losing its relevance in the country’s political spectrum, senior BJP leader Rajnath Singh on Friday said BJP does politics for the sake of the nation building and not merely for coming to power.

Addressing a party gathering before Union Minister Kishan Reddy filed his nomination for Lok Sabha polls, Singh also attacked the Congress party alleging that former Reserve Bank Governor D Subbarao in his book wrote that there was pressure to present a “rosy picture” with regards to the economy during UPA rule. He claimed that due to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s intervention the war between Russia and Ukraine was stopped for over four hours to facilitate India to evacuate its citizens. “I want to say that the Congress has become completely outdated. Congress is continuously losing its relevance from Indian politics,” Singh said.
