PATNA: Union home minister Amit Shah on Sunday said in the ongoing general elections, the people have to choose between Congress’s Rahul Gandhi who “goes on a foreign vacation at the slightest increase in temperature,” and Prime Minister Narendra Modi who has not taken any leave for the last 23 years and spends Diwali with the soldiers on the border.
Addressing back-to-back election rallies at Daudnagar in Karakat Lok Sabha constituency and Bhabua in Sasaram Lok Sabha constituencies, Shah said while Rahul was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, Modi was born to a poor tea seller from an extremely backward class.
Shah alleged that the INDI Alliance was a congregation of netas involved in different scams worth Rs 12 lakh crore, while Modi has an unblemished career of 23 years as the chief minister (of Gujarat) and the Prime Minister.
The Union minister claimed that the INDIA bloc lacked a cohesive leadership and “its prominent figures are looking at one year of prime ministership each. “Such an arrangement can never provide a strong govt capable of defeating Pakistan-sponsored terrorism,” he said.
Shah assailed the Congress for being “scared of Pakistan’s atomic bombs” and asserted that the NDA govt, that has scrapped Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir, would claim Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir “which was ours, is ours and shall remain ours.”
Modi ended Maoist menace in state: ShahAddressing rally In Karakat constituency, where RLM president Upendra Kushwaha is being challenged by CPI(ML) Liberation candidate Raja Ram Singh, Shah reminded the people of the Maoist violence, which used to keep Bihar in the headlines a few decades back, and warned that a victory for the Left party could lead to a fresh spurt in similar incidents.
“Modiji ended Maoist menace in Bihar and Jharkhand. But if you make a mistake then the CPI-ML will return with the scourge of Naxalism. To checkmate the CPI-ML, the people have only one option which is making the Modi-led BJP win the election from Karakat,” Shah said.
In Sasaram constituency, which is reserved for the scheduled caste, Shah spoke of budgetary allocation for dalits’ welfare amounting to Rs 1.65 lakh crore under the Modi government, compared to Rs 41,000 crore during the previous UPA regime.
