The MP from Bihar severely criticized the Congress. He said that he will choose death before bowing to Congress demands. The MP raised the news of an RSS worker being killed in Left ruled Kerala and the killing of Sikhs during the anti-Sikh riots in 1984. Yadav reminded them that the Congress ruled India at that time. He said that state governments have the responsibility to contain such violence. He asserted that the fight between Congress and BJP ideologies were happening for decades. He said the party following the nationalist and economic development path will be victorious at the end.
The Bihar MP discussed nationalism as well. He mentioned iconic Indian freedom fighters like Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan and Maulana Abul Kalam Azad and said that they have sung the ‘Vande Mataram’ song. He pointed out that singing the same song during the present time is now regarded as a crime. The right wing MP cited a recent happening when a certain political leader has asked for Naxal support, before adding that it was clear that this can be regarded as one of the biggest instances of lynching.
