Union minister VK Singh on Amit Shah's "more than 250 terrorists were killed" in airstrike claim, said the figure was based on people who were housed in the buildings which were hit. "It's an estimate. He is not saying this is a confirmed figure, he is saying this many might have died," Singh said. Singh was ambigous When asked about what the casualty figure could be.

"The figure is of the attack on Balakot (250 casualty). The attack was only at one place, nowhere else. The target was selected carefully, away from residential areas to avoid civilian casualty."

On Congress leader Digvijay Singh terming the Pulwama terrorist attack an accident, Singh, said, "With due respect, I would like to ask Digvijaya Singhki, was Rajiv Gandhi's assassination an accident or a terror incident?"

After Karnataka BJP chief BS Yeddyurappa, his counterpart in Jharkhand raked up a controversy by suggesting that the recent air strike on a terrorist camp in Pakistan's Balakot will help the ruling party in the Lok Sabha elections.

"BJP will win all 14 seats in the Jharkhand, our surveys tell us that," Jharkhand BJP chief Laxman Gilua said. "After all, our Indian Air Force finished the terrorist training camp in Pakistan just over 12 days after they killed our soldiers in the Pulwama suicide attack."
