Inflation and corruption don’t matter because of crony capitalism. He said, “Hindu faith does not matter because of their appeasement politics.”

What did Pitroda say?

talking to news agency YearPitoda said that BJP should keep religion separate from politics.

“I have no problem with any religion. It is okay to go to the temple occasionally, but you cannot make it the main platform. 40 per cent people vote for BJP and 60 per cent people do not.” Vote for BJP. He is everyone’s Prime Minister, not the Prime Minister of any party and this is the message the people of India want from him. Talk about employment, inflation, science and technology and challenges. They (people) have to decide what are the real issues – is Ram Mandir the real issue? Or is unemployment the real issue? Is Ram temple the real issue or is inflation the real issue?” he told ANI.

It will decide which path India will take. Used to be.” He said, “I see that democracy has become weak today. The PM of a country does not hold a press conference for 10 years, it troubles me. The Prime Minister is spending more time in the temple, it troubles me. “

On PM’s face:

On the PM face of India Block, the senior Congress leader said that the election should not be fought on any face or personality, but on an idea.

“Elections should be fought on an idea. Who will protect the Constitution? Who will grow your democracy? Who will provide jobs, your health care and infrastructure? This is not a presidential election. This is a parliamentary election. So you have a face. But there should be an idea. The idea is that we want democracy, we want inclusion, we want diversity. These are the issues. It is Modi versus nobody. There are many capable people in the India alliance. Some are visible, Some are not visible,” Pitroda said.
