Maharashtra: People started losing faith in politicians because of a difference between their words and their deeds, but the BJP government is trying to end this and is delivering what it promised, said Defence Minister Rajnath Singh at a public meeting in Dondaicha town of Dhule district in Maharashtra on Friday.
Mr Singh visited Dondaicha and unveiled statues of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Maharana Pratap and Abdul Hamid.
Mentioning the promises fulfilled by the BJP government, the Defence Minister quoted the construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya and the work on improving the road network in the entire country.
“People used to say that BJP only talks about Ram Mandir but will never construct it. The temple is now being constructed following the court orders and not by suppressing anyone. In the same way, Kashi Vishwanath has been developed, said Mr Singh.
“Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra have a historical connection. Lord Ram spent his exile in Panchvati near Nasik,” he said.
The Defence Minister also said that the government wants to take every community together in building the nation. “We do not want to run a government or to develop a nation by destroying the community. We want to develop a nation taking everyone along,” he added.
While addressing the gathering, he also remembered Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat.
