Amit Shah Takes Swipe at Congress for Plundering the Country for Many Years admin, May 19, 2024 Amit Shah, in a scathing assessment of the INDIA alliance, criticized the Congress and highlighted several key issues. He began by emphasizing the significance of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, stating that the Congress cast doubt on the Pran Prathishtha and warning that if they were to come to power, they would place a Babri lock on it. Shah also condemned what he described as dynastic politics within the Congress, pointing to individuals such as Lalu Yadav and Sonia Gandhi, and stressed that seats should be determined democratically, not based on familial ties. Shah then turned his attention to the Congress’s stance on Article 370, contending that while the Congress had not acted against it, Prime Minister Modi successfully abrogated the article, leading to a decline in terrorism within the country. He also emphasized the government’s commitment to reclaiming Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Additionally, Shah accused the Congress of widespread corruption, asserting that the Modi Sarkar would incarcerate all those involved in corrupt dealings. He further lauded the development in Uttar Pradesh under the double engine government, citing the establishment of expressways, metro networks, medical colleges, a film city, and a toy park, commending Yogi Adityanath’s efforts to eradicate criminal activity in the state. The text also notes the re-emergence of Amethi and Raebareli as focal points, with Rahul Gandhi contesting in Rae Bareli and Kishori Lal Sharma representing the Congress in Amethi. It highlights the Congress’s diminishing presence in Uttar Pradesh, with the party losing one of its two seats in 2019.
