Rajnath also expressed concern over a spate of mishaps plaguing the Navy and demanded that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and others should take “moral responsibility” over these incidents.
“Why is the PM silent on these mishaps? Should not he and other Congress leaders own up moral responsibility like the Navy chief DK Joshi did over the mishap at a nuclear submarine”? Rajnath said.
He also attacked the central government accusing it of not accepting Madhya Pradesh government's demand for a Rs 5000-crore package for farmers affected by unseasonal rains and hailstorm.
“If the Congress government could indulge in corruption of Rs 5 lakh crore, why can't it give Rs 5000 crore relief to farmers in Madhya Pradesh”? Rajnath said.
Praising Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, the BJP president said “after formation of the BJP government at the Centre, it will implement a new agriculture income insurance scheme which will take care of damage to crops due to natural calamity in a more realistic manner”.
