His remark came today in response to a question on 'beef fests' and slaughtering of a calf in Kerala by Congress workers to protest the Centre's decision of banning sale of cattle in animal markets for slaughter.
"The government does not decide what people should eat and what not," the Union Minister of State for Finance said at a press conference.
On the calf slaughter by some Youth Congress workers in Kerala, he said, "This shows the culture of the Congress."
"The government's decisions pushed development in the country and India's image globally was transformed under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
"Ex-servicemen have benefited from 'one rank, one pension' scheme, while many other decisions were taken which have accelerated the growth and the development of the country," he said.
