Crisis of credibility for politicians, 'vast-difference' in words, deeds: Rajnath
Home Minister Rajnath Singh today said there was a "crisis of credibility" for politicians in the country due to the perception that there was a vast difference in their "words and deeds". Delivering awards to young women entrepreneurs at a function organized by business chamber FICCI, Singh also said there was a general perception that politicians cannot be successful without telling lies.
I never tell lie to electorate during campaigning: Rajnath
Rajnath said he represents Lucknow constituency in Lok Sabha but during campaigning he never promised and only assured the electorate that he would "try" to do the work needed by them. "Whatever may be the circumstances, knowingly, I will not tell any lie. I just tell people that if you bless me, I would try to do the work (they need)," he said.
Women are successful in every field today: Rajnath
Highlighting women's achievements, Singh said they have been successful in all walks of life and the government has been giving them encouragement. "When I was the BJP President, I took a decision that women must have 33% representations from national to village level in the party. The BJP was the first political party to amend its Constitution to this effect," he said.
