Amit Shah Takes Swipe at Congress for Pillaging the Country for Many Years

Amit Shah criticized the INDIA alliance, stating that there was a long wait for the construction of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. He dismissed the Congress’ concerns about the Pran Prathishtha, claiming that if the Congress were to come into power, they would lock the temple once again. He accused the Congress of engaging in dynastic politics, citing examples such as Lalu Yadav, Mamata Banerjee, and Sonia Gandhi’s family members seeking top political positions.

He stressed that the people should have the ultimate say, rather than these political families. Shah also attacked the Congress over its stance on Article 370, highlighting that it was Prime Minister Modi who took the bold step to abrogate it. He emphasized that the government has effectively tackled terrorism, asserting India’s claim over Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

Furthermore, Shah criticized the Congress for alleged corruption, stating that the Modi government would hold the corrupt accountable. He lauded the developmental progress in Uttar Pradesh under the “double engine” of the central and state governments. He credited the state’s development to the leadership of Modi and Yogi Adityanath, highlighting the infrastructure projects and initiatives undertaken.
