Meanwhile, Singh slammed Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi during his public rally in Amritsar and called him a 'commander without an army'.
"I see the Chief Minister of Punjab. Ye to bina sainiko wale senapati hain (He is like a Commander without army). He has become the Senapati (Chief Minister), but he does not have any army. Congress is fighting within itself," he added.
The Union Minister further criticised Punjab CM for his alleged 'UP, Bihar ke bhaiya' remark and said that Congress wants to gain power by dividing the society.
"Congress wants to gain power by dividing the society. When he(Channi) was saying this, Priyanka Gandhi was standing there. India is the only country that considers individuals from all around the world as a family, not only those who live within its borders."
He also slammed Priyanka Gandhi Vadra for endorsing Channi's remarks by clapping during his speech.
