Amit Shah Takes Swipe at Congress for Plundering the Country Over Many Years

Amit Shah criticized the Congress and its alliance with India, asserting that after a long wait, the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya was finally obtained. He dismissed the Congress’s claims about the Pran Prathishtha not being done correctly, suggesting that if they were to come into power, they would impose restrictions on it. Shah also accused the Congress of engaging in dynastic politics, citing examples such as Lalu Prasad Yadav wanting his son to become CM and Sonia Gandhi wanting her son, Rahul Gandhi, to become Prime Minister. He emphasized that the people should decide, rather than the family claiming ownership of specific seats.

Shah condemned the Congress’s stance on Article 370, stating that while the Congress had not acted against it, Prime Minister Modi successfully abrogated it, effectively curbing terrorism in the country. He also claimed that Pakistan-occupied Kashmir belongs to India, stressing that the country is not afraid. Additionally, Shah accused the Congress of corruption and announced that the Modi government would imprison all corrupt individuals. Furthermore, Shah praised the progress made in Uttar Pradesh under the double engine government, attributing the state’s development to Modi and Yogi Adityanath.

He highlighted achievements such as 14 expressways, a metro network, medical colleges, a film city, and a toy park, asserting that Yogi Ji had eradicated criminals in the state. A notable point of focus has been the Amethi and Raebareli constituencies, long considered strongholds of the Gandhi family. Rahul Gandhi entered the fray in Rae Bareli, and the family’s close aide Kishori Lal Sharma was fielded against Smriti Irani in Amethi. The Congress, having won only two seats in Uttar Pradesh in 2014, saw the tally decrease to one in 2019 after losing Amethi.
