On Monday, Singh took a jibe at Congress after Gandhi raised questions over the issue of a border dispute with China.
"Haath me dard ho to dawa kije, haath hi jab dard ho to kya kije," Singh said.
The couplet roughly translates to, "You apply medicine to the hand when it pains, but what to do when the hand itself is the cause of pain."
Singh made the reference in relation to the Congress' election symbol.

The Chinese Army's intent to carry out deeper incursions was checked by the Indian security forces by quick deployment.
The Chinese have also brought in heavy vehicles with artillery guns and infantry combat vehicles in their rear positions close to the Indian territory.
