JIND: Former union minister and senior Congress leader Chaudhary Birender Singh said that BJP has failed utterly to create a political environment in the name of religion in the nation. “ I used to believe at the time of consecration of Rama temple that BJP will sweep in northern states like Haryana, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and may cross 400 seats but that didn’t work in lok sabha elections.Ceasing Congress’s bank account, most sophisticated corruption in the name of electoral bonds, lodging two chief ministers in jail exposed BJP’s ideology and their working style to stay in power and people voted against the saffron party,” he added.
Amid the ongoing political storm in the nation in the name of Hindutva, Singh said that “people have rejected religion-based politics. I am a Hindu but don’t follow Sanatan tradition (also known as Sanatana Dharma ) instead I believe in Arya Samaj tradition (Arya Samaj tradition is a more reformist and progressive approach to Hinduism, which emphasizes the authority of the Vedas but rejects the caste system and other social hierarchies). Being a Hindu is a personal matter,” he added.
Birender Singh who left BJP prior to lok sabha election along with his former Hisar BJP MP Brijendra Singh and joined Congress claimed that the NDA-led coalition government will not complete its tenure and collapse within two years. This is not a stable government that will not complete five years following its ally partners’ demands and other reasons, he added.
Singh held a meeting of his workers in a private hotel near Safidon bypass of Jind city, asking them to start preparation for assembly elections scheduled in October. He made a strategy to field more and more supporters from Congress party in Jind, Hisar, Kaithal and nearby districts. He announced the formation of a three-member committee of close aids to prepare a roadmap for the elections. The committee includes Vijay Kaushik, Udayveer Poonia, and other members of the executive committee. He expressed concern over the lack of jobs, education, and papers leak issues in the nation and demanded a strict action on these genuine issues.
