Union Home Minister바카라 웹사이트Rajnath Singh on Saturday lambasted the Congress for promising바카라 웹사이트 abolition of the sedition law in its election manifesto and said if re-elected the Narendra Modi government would strive to make it more stringent.

He also compared the demand by the opposition that the바카라 웹사이트government come out with exact number of terrorists killed in바카라 웹사이트the Balakot airstrikes, to vultures preying upon dead bodies.

"Yudhveer (valiant soldiers) are not interested in counting바카라 웹사이트bodies. It is the work of gidhveer (vultures), Singh said바카라 웹사이트addressing a rally at Nawada.

"They (the Congress) say that they would do away with바카라 웹사이트rashtra droh (sedition) law and then have the temerity to come바카라 웹사이트to the people seeking votes. Can the people of the country
vote for those who harbor such thoughts?바카라 웹사이트Narendra Modi government is committed to crushing all바카라 웹사이트sorts of anti-national activities.바카라 웹사이트 Far from abolition or바카라 웹사이트dilution of the law we would strive towards making it more바카라 웹사이트stringent," Singh told an election rally in Jamui, Bihar.

He canvassed in favour of LJP MP Chirag Paswan, who is바카라 웹사이트contesting on Jamui (reserved seat), in presence of the바카라 웹사이트latter's father and his cabinet colleague Ram Vilas Paswan.바카라 웹사이트

"The Congress seems to have forgotten the adulation the바카라 웹사이트then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi had received when India바카라 웹사이트defeated Pakistan in the 1971 war which led to the creation of바카라 웹사이트Bangladesh. It is unable to stomach the reverence Modi is바카라 웹사이트evoking as a result of displaying similar boldness of바카라 웹사이트leadership," Singh said referring to the government's response바카라 웹사이트to the February 14 Pulwama terror attack in which 40 CRPF men were killed.

"On the economic front too, Modi's leadership is doing바카라 웹사이트India proud. As per a recent IMF report, the country has risen바카라 웹사이트from ninth position among the comity of nations and reached
the sixth rank. Opposition is wary of the blessings that the바카라 웹사이트people are showering on the Prime Minister on account of his바카라 웹사이트achievements," the former BJP president said.

Singh also claimed that unlike the Congress governments,바카라 웹사이트which he said had many ministers who had to go to jail for graft,바카라 웹사이트there has been no taint of corruption on any member of the바카라 웹사이트Union council of ministers headed by Atal Bihari Vajpayee in바카라 웹사이트the past or Narendra Modi at present.

"There is simply no comparison between the Congress바카라 웹사이트governments and the Modi regime. The Congress had been in바카라 웹사이트power for most part since Independence and yet when we took
over only 40 per cent of households in the country had바카라 웹사이트toilets. In just five years, it has reached 98 per cent. Another바카라 웹사이트example is construction of 1.30 crore houses under the Pradhan바카라 웹사이트Mantri Awas Yojana in the last five years as against only 25 lakhs between 2008 to 2014 when the country was ruled by UPA," Singh asserted.

"At present we are the sixth largest economy in the world.바카라 웹사이트Modi's dynamic leadership would ensure that we jump to the바카라 웹사이트third position within a decade," he added.

Taking a swipe at the Mahagathbandhan which comprises바카라 웹사이트parties like Lalu Prasad's RJD, among others, Singh remarked that now they have come up with this new formation which has
leaders either in jail or out on bail.
