Amit Shah Takes Swipe at Congress, Saying Country Was Looted for Many Years

Amit Shah criticized the INDIA alliance, stating that after a long wait they obtained the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. He mentioned the Congress’s objection to the Pran Prathishtha, and predicted that if the Congress came into power, they would place a Babri lock on it. He also accused the Congress of engaging in dynastic politics, specifically pointing out Lalu ji, Mamata, and Sonia Gandhi. He emphasized the people’s right to decide, rather than positions being reserved for a specific family.

Shah condemned the Congress’s inaction on Article 370 and praised Modi’s decision to abrogate it, asserting that it curbed terrorism and secured Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. He labeled the Congress as corrupt and declared that the Modi government would prosecute all corrupt individuals. Further, he applauded the progress in Uttar Pradesh under the double-engine government and highlighted various developments, including expressways, a metro network, medical colleges, a film city, and a toy park. He credited Yogi Ji with eliminating criminal elements in the state.

In addition, he noted the significance of Amethi and Raebareli in the context of the Gandhi family’s influence and mentioned Rahul Gandhi’s involvement in Raebareli and Kishori Lal Sharma’s candidacy against Smriti Irani in Amethi. He also highlighted the decline in Congress’s electoral performance in Uttar Pradesh, from winning two seats in 2014 to only one in 2019. *(Except for the headline, this story has not been edited by NDTV staff and is published from a syndicated feed. )*
