'Rahul trying to create anarchy by demanding quota in defence forces'

DEFENCE MINISTER Rajnath Singh on Wednesday alleged that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was "trying to create anarchy" in the country by "demanding reservation in the armed forces".

Singh also took a jibe at Gandhi, the leader of the opposition in the Lok Sabha, over his recent fishing bid during a poll campaign in Bihar, alleging that the Congress leader has "no option left but to jump into a pond’.

The senior BJP leader also slammed Gandhi for levelling the ‘vote chori’ allegation against the Election Commission, claiming that the Congress MP is "targeting constitutional bodies without any basis".

Addressing a public rally in Bihar's Jamui district, Singh said, "What happened to Rahul ji? He is raising the issue of reservation in the defence forces. He is simply trying to create anarchy in the country by demanding reservation in the defence forces. Our forces are above all these."

"Soldiers of India have only one religion, which is 'Sainya Dharma’. The BJP supports reservation. We have given reservation to the poor and other eligible sections of the society," Singh said.
