Rajnath accuses Cong of lying to embroil RSS in Ajmer blasts case

BJP president Rajnath Singh on Wednesday launched a hard-hitting attack on Congress, accusing it of resorting to lies to embroil RSS in Ajmer blasts case.

‘Ajmer blast accused Bhavesh Patel has made a statement that the home minister and a former chief minister of the state, who is also a Congress general secretary, had asked him to name RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat and Indresh Kumar in the blasts case,’ he told a rally here.

Singh’s remarks came after Patel in a reported letter to the NIA special court claimed that home minister Sushil Kumar Shinde forced him to implicate Bhagwat and senior leader Indresh Kumar in the terror case.

Maintainig that Patel’s reported statement has exposed Congress, the BJP chief said, ‘People take recourse to lies when there is absence of truth.’ 

Striking an imagery of the great Mahabharat war, Singh compared Congress with Kauravas, saying they will not be able to defeat the Pandavas, the BJP.
