Addressing a state-level Brahmin seminar in Haryana's Kurukshetra, Surjewala tried to woo the Brahmin community, and said that if the party is voted to power in the state it would set up Brahmin Kalyan Board and Rs 100 crore soft loan and scholarships to needy Brahmin youths for setting up business and students to take up higher education at 4 percent interest rate would also be provided by the board, reported ToI.

While addressing the seminar, he also referred to Congress president Rahul Gandhi's Kailash Mansarovar yatra and compared the BJP and its leaders as demons and said that the battle between demons and Brahmins has been going on for years. “Whenever anyone prayed for Lord Shiva demons would gather to foil the penance. Even today, Shiv-bhakt, your son, Congress chief and our leader Rahul Gandhi is on his way to Kailash Mansarovar. And who's trying to foil his trip? Leaders of the BJP'," said Surjewala.

Yesterday, Madhya Pradesh Congress unit chief Kamal Nath had said that the BJP had done nothing for cows and promised that if his party is voted to power he will ensure that gosahalas are opened in every village panchayat in the state.
