Congress trying to present Prez Polls says Venkaiah

Union Minister of Urban Development M Venkaiah Naidu today slammed the Congress for politicising the upcoming Presidential elections and said the Opposition is trying to present it as a theoretical rivalry before the nation.

Talking to mediapersons after the commencement of the three-day long Textile India 2017 exhibition, Mr Naidu said the efficiency, background and commitment with the Constitution is the main criteria for the selection of a candidate for the presidential polls, however, it is unfortunate that the Congress is giving it a colour of theoretical rivalry before the entire nation.

“I want to ask the Congress what type of theoretical rivalry is this? Is enforcing democracy, applying sensorship on media, forcing people to do family planning, putting the Opposition behind bars and amending the Constitution is your (Congress’) theory ? ” the Union Minister stated.
