Rohtak, April 1

Haryana Power Minister and BJP candidate from Hisar Lok Sabha constituency Ranjit Chautala has apologised for his remark about the Brahmin community.

Addressing a news conference at Hisar today, Ranjit said he had inadvertently made a remark about the Brahmin community, for which he apologises.

“Brahmins are respectable for us as we seek their consent/permission before any new venture/task. It is my eighth election and I have never made any remark against any caste or community,” he said.

In a recent interview, the minister had blamed the Brahmin community for the caste system in society.
