Rajnath Singh the Union Home Minister has given “standing orders” to his forces to use “limitless bullets to retaliate a single fire on our territory by the Pakistani forces”.
Mr Singh’s comments came after an election rally on the state capital's suburbia.
He said: "As our neighbour, we do not want to attack Pakistan first.
"We want to live with peace and harmony with our all neighbours.
"But, most unfortunately Pakistan is trying to tear down Jammu and Kashmir and continue attacks on our forces and Indian territory.”
The Former Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh said during the Left Front government's 25-year uninterrupted rule, they did nothing for the development of Tripura, a state in northeast India.
He also claimed they did nothing for the economic success of the state and to remove mass poverty and employment.
Mr Singh said: "During CPI-M's 35 years rule in West Bengal, they ruined that state, and if the Left parties after the February 18 assembly polls are allowed to rule Tripura further, they would destroy the future of the state and its people.”
He said that he believes the Bharatiya Janata Party can develop the country and specifically the state of Tripura.

Mr Singh highlighted Tripura's huge natural resources.
He said: "BJP and its allies are now ruling 19 states in India.
"Why so many states are under BJP and its allies' governance?
"Because people of these states trust BJP and people sincerely believe that only BJP can remove their poverty and provide jobs to the youth."
If his party came to power in the state, it would make Tripura a top state in India.

The home minister said: "You have given scope to the Left parties in Tripura many times, give scope to BJP once this time to rule for genuine development of the state with all-round growth of all sections of people.”
This comes after Mr Singh had ordered an investigation into three videos posted by a soldier, claiming troops on the border with Pakistan were given poor quality food.
The video, which has been viewed over 8million times, showed how the fighters were served up burnt flatbread and lentils which the filmmaker claimed were only flavoured with turmeric and salt.
It was posted by Tej Bahadur Yadav of the Border Security Force and alleged that the soldiers choose to rather starve, on the bitterly cold frontline of Jammu and Kashmir, instead of eating the poor quality food.

During the clip, he Mr Yadav said: “This is breakfast – one burnt piranha and a glass of tea. No butter, no jam, no pickle.
“This is the quality of the food we get.. how can a jawan (soldier) do his duty?”
He added that the problem did not lie with the government, but was a result of corruption among senior army officers who, he alleged, were selling rations.
The 40-year-old’s message was received, with home minister Rajnath Singh ordering an inquiry into the soldier’s three videos which he has uploaded to social media.
