Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday asserted that the BJP delivers on its promises, claiming that illegal intruders are being driven out in all States governed by the party and similar action has now begun in West Bengal.“There is no gap between our words and actions. We are not focused on the next election, but on the next generation,” he said. Taking a swipe at the Congress, Mr. Singh remarked that while elections inevitably produce winners and losers, the party routinely questions institutions such as the Election Commission, Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) and the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process whenever it loses.“This is precisely why the Congress keeps losing elections consistently,” he said. Urging the party to introspect, he said that the Congress had eroded public trust through ‘false claims and flawed policies’, rather than acknowledging its shortcomings, addressing a gathering of intellectuals.
