Following the footsteps of party vice-president Rahul Gandhi, Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee chief Arvinder Singh on Sunday lashed out at the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and the Bharatiya Janata Party terming them “anti-women”.
“The Sangh is anti-women. That is why there is not a single woman office-bearer in the RSS. On Women’s Day [on Saturday], BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, who is the face of the RSS, participated in a tea party. He should clarify the stand of the RSS on women,” said Mr. Singh at the party’s “Pol Khol Abhiyan” at Badarpur in South Delhi parliamentary constituency.
The Delhi Congress unit chief also slammed the Aam Aadmi Party and the BJP for “fooling” the people of Delhi.

“People are now waiting to teach these parties a lesson. During the Delhi Assembly elections, the AAP and the BJP had promised to give 50 and 30 per cent concession in the power tariffs respectively. However, Delhi residents cannot be fooled and misled forever. [Former Chief Minister Arvind] Kejriwal has betrayed the people of Delhi — not only by resigning, but also with his 49-day anarchic rule which pushed development work in Delhi back by a year,” Mr. Singh added.
South Delhi MP Ramesh Kumar, CLP leader Haroon Yusuf, Delhi Congress chief spokesperson Mukesh Sharma and Youth Congress leader Amit Malik were also present at the event.
