Patti (Uttar Pradesh) [India], February 20 (ANI): Mentioning the Bhartiya Janta Party’s achievements in India’s development, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday said that people across the world have changed their mindset towards India and now they look at India as a powerful country.
Addressing an election rally in poll-bound Uttar Pradesh’s Patti, Singh said, “Earlier people across the globe used to consider India as a weak country with a large population. This mindset has changed in the last few years. Now, people not only consider India as a powerful country but also look up to us.”
The Defence Minister also counted different achievements of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and said, “Yogi Adityanath is a more successful minister than me,” UP former CM said. He also said that the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister did everything for the development of the state
Reacting to the Samajwadi Party’s “Baba bulldozer” remark on UP CM, Rajnath Singh satirically replied, “I asked yogi if have a fewer bulldozer, if yes then buy few more.”
