Amit Shah Takes Swipe at Congress: Accuses Party of Plundering the Country for Many Years

Amit Shah criticized the INDIA alliance, emphasizing that after a prolonged wait, they finally secured the construction of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. He mocked the Congress by stating that they claim the Pran Prathistha was not conducted correctly and warned that if the Congress came into power, they would place a lock on the Mandir.

Shah accused the Congress of engaging in dynastic politics, citing examples such as Lalu Yadav, Mamata Banerjee, and Sonia Gandhi’s ambitions for their family members. He stressed that the people should decide political representation, rather than it being reserved for specific families.

Turning to the Congress’s stance on Article 370, Shah criticized the party for not taking action, while praising Modi’s government for its decision to abrogate the article and its efforts in countering terrorism. Shah labeled the Congress as corrupt, asserting that Modi’s government would hold the corrupt accountable and imprison them.

He lauded the progress under the “double-engine” government in Uttar Pradesh, highlighting developments such as the establishment of 14 expressways, a metro network, medical colleges, a film city, and a toy park. He also commended Yogi Adityanath for cracking down on criminal elements in the state.

The focus then shifted to the constituencies of Amethi and Raebareli, historically affiliated with the Gandhi family. This attention was sparked by Rahul Gandhi entering the race in Rae Bareli, and the family’s close aide, Kishori Lal Sharma, being fielded against Smriti Irani in Amethi.

The narrative also detailed the decline in Congress’s electoral performance in Uttar Pradesh. (Note: The headline is unchanged, and this content is published from a syndicated feed without editing by NDTV staff.)
