Terrorist outfits misguiding youth: Venkaiah
India neither needs the US-model of capitalism nor the Soviet-model of socialism, which have impeded the nations development, Union Minister for Urban Development M. Venkaiah Naidu asserted on Sunday.
China gave up socialism and changed its policies to effectively compete with the US, he said at a public meeting at municipal stadium here.
The Modi government believes in adopting the good and giving up whats bad in every system, he said. The bourgeois system has gone and we must get out of the Communist ideology.
Bharatiya Janata Party government would not follow policies of pseudo-secularists, Mr. Naidu said and added that people of all religions were equal and have equal rights in India.
Muslims who stayed back in India, during partition, are Indian citizens on par with others. He accused some political parties of using Muslims as vote banks. Muslims in Gujarat have the highest per capita income, he added.
He charged some parties with creating rifts between religions for gaining political mileage and instead dubbing the BJP as communal.
Poverty has equal impact on people of any religion and one was free to embrace any religion, but the Vedic inheritance and culture of the nation must be preserved, he said.
Terrorist outfits like ISI and SIMI were misguiding youth and ruining their future, at the behest of some political parties, he said.
There was no difference between the Congress and YSR Congress, he remarked.
The Union Minister said all systems had gone haywire during the UPA government in the last decade.
