Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Wednesday described opposition Congress' manifesto for November 28 Assembly elections in Madhya Pradesh as a "post-dated cheque of a bankrupt bank".
The Congress does not fulfil its promises even partially, Singh said, speaking to the reporters here.
"Congress' promises in the manifesto are like post-dated cheque of a bankrupt bank," the senior BJP leader said, alleging that it promised a farm loan waiver in Karnataka, but issued arrest warrants against farmers after the polls.
However, Singh parried the question when asked why the BJP did not fulfil its own promise of loan waiver in the 2008 Assembly elections in Madhya Pradesh.
The Shivraj Singh Chouhan-led government has done "unparallelled work" for farmers, he said.
To a question on BJP's slogan 'Abki Baar -- 200 Paar' (More than 200 seats this time), he said, "I can not give the exact figure. But I can tell you that BJP is winning with a clear majority."
