SC halts mosque survey orders, restricts lower courts in pending cases
Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday takes a dig at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi calling him the 'best finisher' of Indian politics, drawing a direct analogy to MS Dhoni being the 'best finisher' in cricket.
Singh posed a rhetorical question to the crowd, asking, "Who is the best finisher in cricket?" With a resounding chorus of "Dhoni" from the audience, Singh then remarked, "If anyone asks me who is the best finisher in Indian politics, I will say it is Rahul Gandhi. This is the reason why several leaders have left Congress."
"Congress and corruption are inextricably linked. Most Congress governments faced corruption allegations, but no such allegations were made against any minister in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government," he asserted.
The former BJP national president said that the Congress once dominated the Indian political space, but now it is ruling only two or three small states in the country.
At an earlier rally, Rajnath Singh had said Rahul Gandhi would not stop until he "finished" the Congress.
