‘Family first’ for Congress and ‘Nation First’ for RSS and BJP: Bandi Sanjay

Union Minister of state for Home Bandi Sanjay Kumar lashed out at Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy over his remarks contrasting the Congress and the Sangh Parivar, saying the Congress placed the Gandhi family above the nation.

In a post on social media platforms, Mr. Sanjay said: “For us, it is Nation First. For Congress, it is always Family First,” and alleged that Mr. Revanth Reddy was asking people to fight and sacrifice only for the Gandhi family.

Referring to the Sangh prayer, he said a swayamsevak was taught from the beginning to dedicate himself to the motherland. He quoted the Sanskrit lines, “Mahamangale punyabhume tvadarthe, Patatvesha kayo namaste namaste,” and explained them as a pledge to dedicate one’s body to the service of the country.
