*Vij takes a dig at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi: “He appears in different disguises every day”*

*“Congress is no longer a party but divided factions” - Vij*

Chandigarh, April 2: Haryana’s Energy, Transport and Labour Minister, Sh. Anil Vij condemned the blast that occurred yesterday outside the Bharatiya Janata Party office in Chandigarh. He said that the police are taking action in the matter, identifying the accused, and that they will be arrested soon.

Sh. Vij was responding to questions posed by media personnel today.

*“Rahul Gandhi appears in different disguises every day” - Vij*

Responding to a question about a video of Rahul Gandhi going viral on social media, in which he is seen meeting a person dressed as Yamraj (the god of death) on a bus—where the person remarks that Rahul Gandhi has taken over his job—Sh. Vij humorously said that “Rahul Gandhi appears in different disguises every day, and perhaps inspired by him, this person came dressed as Yamraj.”

*“Congress is not a party but divided factions” - Vij*

On being asked about ongoing infighting within the Congress, especially in light of MLA Shailly Chaudhary’s remarks targeting Leader of Opposition Bhupinder Hooda and questioning why she should resign at someone’s behest, Sh. Vij said that “The reality of Congress was exposed during the Rajya Sabha elections, and the party has collapsed. It is no longer a unified party but divided factions that have now split apart.”

*“Digital census will provide accurate data” - Vij*

Commenting on the launch of the digital census starting yesterday, Sh. Vij said it is a very good initiative and will ensure comprehensive data collection. He added that the census will first cover households and then individuals, enabling the preparation of accurate data.
