Manohar Lal Khattar vs Bhupinder Hooda On Nehru: Union Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Sunday said that Jawaharlal Nehru became the first Prime Minister of the country by accident, on which Congress leader and former Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Hooda sharply criticized. Manohar Lal Khattar said at a meeting in Rohtak, Haryana, “In his (Nehru’s) place, the people who deserved this post were Sardar Vallabhai Patel and Dr. BR Ambedkar.”

Responding to the comment, Hooda said that someone who himself became an accidental chief minister should not make such comments.

Speaking at the event, Union Minister Manohar Lal Khattar talked about the role of BJP in honoring the legacy of Dr. Ambedkar. He said, “The Constitution is our holy book and we should always remember the contribution of Dr. Ambedkar in shaping it. We should reflect on it with time. Dr. Ambedkar also faced difficulties, for example After his death, even a place for cremation was not given to Dr. Ambedkar during his tenure. Respect There was a big demonstration, which had never happened before.”

This statement came a few weeks after the death of former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh at the age of 92. After his death, controversy erupted over building a memorial at the cremation site, as has been the practice for all former prime ministers. In view of the assembly elections to be held in Delhi on February 5, Manohar Lal expressed confidence in the victory of BJP. He had said on Friday, “This time (Arvind) Kejriwal and his party will not be able to form the government in Delhi. BJP is gaining momentum and will perform well.” In October last year, BJP had registered a landslide victory in the Haryana Assembly elections and Naib Singh Saini took over as the Chief Minister.
