Amit Shah Takes Aim at Congress for Plundering the Country for Many Years

Amit Shah criticized the INDIA alliance, stating that despite a long wait, the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya was finally obtained. He dismissed Congress’ claims about the Pran Prathishtha not being done correctly, and cautioned that if the Congress comes to power, they would lock up the Babri structure. Shah accused the Congress of employing dynastic politics, citing examples of leaders like Lalu Yadav, Mamata Banerjee, and Sonia Gandhi promoting their family members for prominent political positions. He emphasized that the people should have the right to decide without any reserved seats for a particular family.

In regards to Article 370, Shah accused the Congress of not taking action against it, while Prime Minister Modi revoked it, effectively halting terrorism and asserting rights over Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. He characterized the Congress party as corrupt and vowed that the Modi government would prosecute all those involved in corruption. Highlighting the progress in Uttar Pradesh under the double engine government, Shah credited the development to Modi’s leadership and praised Yogi Adityanath for curbing crime in the state. The mention of Amethi and Rae Bareli, traditionally considered as strongholds of the Gandhi family, underlines the significance of these constituencies in the political landscape.

Moreover, it is notable that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has entered the fray in Rae Bareli, and the party’s close aide Kishori Lal Sharma has been fielded against Smriti Irani in Amethi. In the 2014 elections, Congress won two seats in Uttar Pradesh, which decreased to one in 2019 after losing Amethi.
