Addressing the event, Singh said: “When they (BJP) remained confined to just 2 seats in 1984, they decided to make it a national issue (Ram Janmbhoomi conflict) because Gandhian socialism d ‘Atal Bihari Vajpayee failed in 1984.

Mentioning Veer Savarkar, Singh further alleged that Savarkar brought the word “Hindutva” which confused people.
