The BJP is not using Mahatma Gandhi's name to gain political mileage while burying his principles and ideologies "unlike other political parties", Union Minister Giriraj Singh said.
"Unlike other parties, we are not using Mahatma Gandhi's name to have political mileage, burying his principles and ideologies. Our government has proved that Khadi can be the best medium of employment generation for youths and women empowerment," the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) Minister said.
He made the remarks at the opening of the first outlet under franchisee model by Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) at Lajpat Nagar here yesterday, according to a statement.
Singh said that it was none other than Prime Minister Narendra Modi who carried forward Mahatma Gandhi's message of 'Khadi for nation' to 'Khadi for Economic Transformation' via giving a clarion call of 'Khadi for Fashion'.
