Swatantra Dev Singh, BJP’S Uttar Pradesh chief said on Friday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has decided when India would be at war with Pakistan and China.

Singh’s controversial remarks came amid heavy tension at the Line of Actual Control (LAC) between the two countries.

Like the decisions on Ram Mandir and Article 370, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has decided when there would be war with Pakistan and China, he is heard saying in a video clip on social media.

“Sambandhit tithi tai hai,” he said in Hindi, claiming that a decision has been taken on the date.

Singh was speaking at an event at the home of BJP MLA Sanjay Yadav, who released the video.

In his address, Singh compared Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party workers with terrorists.

When asked about the remarks, local MP Ravindra Kushwaha said the UP BJP president made them to boost the morale of party workers.

Notably, Singh’s remarks appear to deviate from India’s stated stand of wanting to end the border tension with China.
