Key themes from Union Minister Giriraj Singh’s campaign speech, recalling his alleged encounter with a Maulvi: “I asked, did you receive the Ayushman card? He replied, yes. I asked, did any Hindu-Muslim issue arise? He said, no, it did not. I asked, did you vote for us? He said, yes. I asked him to swear on Khuda (God) and say it, and he replied, no, he did not. I asked, did I or Narendra Modi ever abuse you? He said, no. I asked, then what was my fault? What do you call someone who doesn’t appreciate others’ help? An ungrateful person (namakharam). I said, ‘Maulvi saab, I don’t need votes from namakharam people.’”
