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

Amit Shah criticized the INDIA alliance, expressing satisfaction at the construction of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya after a long wait. He criticized the Congress, alleging that they would place a Babri lock on the temple if they came to power. Shah accused the Congress of engaging in dynastic politics, asserting that the people should decide political representation rather than it being reserved for particular families. Shah also condemned the Congress for its stance on Article 370, praising Modi for revoking it and asserting Indian sovereignty over Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

He accused the Congress of corruption and highlighted the development in Uttar Pradesh under the Modi government, praising Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for tackling lawlessness. The focus on Raebareli and Amethi increased as Rahul Gandhi contested from Raebareli and an ally of the Gandhi family, Kishori Lal Sharma, ran against Smriti Irani in Amethi. The Congress’ performance in Uttar Pradesh has declined, with the party holding just one seat in 2019, down from two in 2014.
