"Congress is trying to divide the nation on the name of secularism. They call us anti-secular and accuse us of engaging in divisive politics. It is Congress that has been engaged in the divisive politics and divided the nation on caste, creed, religion and sect," Singh said.
Singh, while addressing an election rally in Jaitpur village in South Delhi constituency, said "Congress has ruled the country for the last 55 years and isn't social harmony and secular environment its responsibility?"
"When Pakistanis beheaded our soldiers and China attempted incursion, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi remained silent and chose not to speak in protest.
"Let our soldiers have a free hand once, they will prove that they are second to no one in the world," Singh told the audience.
During the campaign rally, Singh also slammed Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and ridiculed it as a "drama" and also accused its chief Arvind Kejriwal of being "power-hungry".
Singh said, "He (Kejriwal) was so filled with greed for power that he forgot that he had sworn on his children not to take Congress or BJP's support to form the government in Delhi Assembly.
