We guard nation and government’s treasury unlike other political parties,” he said.

Singh, who set the tone for the party’s mascot to address nearly 2 lakh strong crowd at the Bangalore Palace Grounds, said the Congress has created a sense of fear among the people for the sake of vote bank. “The BJP is trying to demolish that through creating sense of confidence among the people,” he said.
