Politicians facing credibility crisis in the country: Rajnath Singh

06 Apr 2018 Evaluate

Home Minister Rajnath Singh said there was a ‘crisis of credibility’ for politicians in the country due to the perception that there was a vast difference in their ‘words and deeds’. He also said there was a general perception that politicians cannot be successful without telling lies.

Singh said ‘I work in political arena. I know that there is a crisis of credibility for politicians. There is a general perception that there is a vast difference in the words and deeds of politicians’. The home minister said he represents Lucknow constituency in the Lok Sabha but during campaigning he never promised and only assured the electorate that he would ‘try’ to do the work needed by them.

He said ‘whatever may be the circumstances, knowingly, I will not tell any lie. I just tell people that if you bless me, I would try to do the work (they need)’. Referring to the achievements of women in different fields, Singh said they have been successful in all walks of life and the government has been giving them encouragement.

The home minister said ‘when I was the BJP president, I took a decision that women must have 33 per cent representations from national to village level in the party. The BJP was the first political party to amend its Constitution to this effect’. He further said that women in paramilitary forces are performing exceedingly well.
