Shah Criticizes Congress and Defends BJP’s Promises
Madhupur (Jharkhand), Nov 16: Union Home Minister Amit Shah launched a strong attack on the Congress and its leader Rahul Gandhi during a rally at Madhupur in Deoghar district on Saturday. Shah accused Gandhi of making promises to the public and then flying abroad, while asserting that only the BJP fulfills its commitments.
Jharkhand Elections Are About Shaping the Future
Addressing the gathering, Shah stated that the Jharkhand elections were not just about changing MLAs, the chief minister, or the government, but about shaping the future of the youth and the poor, and taking a stand against corruption. He emphasized that the real issues at stake were jobs, youth empowerment, and addressing corruption in the state.
Infiltrators Threatening Tribals and Youth, Says Shah
Shah also raised concerns over the issue of infiltrators, claiming that they were not only posing a threat to tribal communities but also to the youth of Jharkhand by snatching jobs and contributing to rising crime. He pointed out that while the Jharkhand High Court had ordered the identification and deportation of infiltrators, the Hemant Soren-led state government had failed to take any action, despite the Centre’s agreement.
A Historical Comparison: BJP vs Congress on National Security
In his scathing critique of the Congress, Shah reminded the crowd of the period during the UPA rule, alleging that terrorists not only attacked India but also enjoyed meals after killing people. In contrast, he praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for taking strong actions against terrorism, citing the surgical strikes and air strikes carried out by the Modi government to eliminate terrorists.
India’s Economic Ambition
Shah also made a bold claim about India’s economic future, stating that India is on track to become the third-largest economy in the world before December 2027, under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi.
