Assam polls: ‘Politics of religion should not be done,’ says Rajnath Singh

Defense Minister Rajnath Singh during his address in poll-bound Assam’s Dergaon on March 14 expressed concern on the current status of Congress and accused them of joining hands with All India United Democratic Front for the sake of votes.

Defense Minister said that politics should be done to build the country and society but politics of religion should not be done.

“We believe in justice for all, appeasement of none,” he added.

Giving reference to former Congress Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi's government, which ruled Assam for 15 years, Rajnath Singh said, “Tarun Gogoi's government was here for 15 years, but it never joined hands with AIUDF. But today for the sake of votes, Congress has aligned with a party like AIUDF. What has happened to it?”
