Earlier in the day, during another election rally in Karnal Singh slammed the Congress over their criticism of the shashtra puja after the former received the first Rafale fighter jet in France. Singh said, "...We are getting a new fighter aircraft which is much stronger. But before using it, we have to do puja. So, I wrote 'Om' on the fighter plane and tied a 'raksha bandhan' to it. But, Congress leaders started a controversy here. You are objecting to the word 'Om'? Don't we say or write 'Om' in our homes?"

He also stated that there was no need of going to Pakistan for the air strike on the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terror camp had the country possessed the Rafale jet.  Rajnath was in Haryana today for campaigning for the upcoming assembly elections.
