Union Home Minister Amit Shah, while addressing a rally in Sasaram on Sunday, charged the INDIA bloc with trying to build a ‘corridor for infiltrators’, unlike Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who wanted to build an ‘industrial corridor’.
Taking a jibe at the opposition during his rally in Sasaram town of Bihar, Amit Shah on the final day of the campaign for the second and final phase of assembly elections also promised a future that “mortar shells that will be dropped on Pakistan will be manufactured at an ordnance factory in this state,” as reported by news agency PTI.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah,in which during his rally while slamming Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’, said that, “Recently, Rahul and Lalu`s son (Tejashwi Yadav) took out a `Voter Adhikar Yatra`. It was not aimed at bringing about any improvement in the lives of the poor living in Bihar, the Dalits and the EBCs. It was aimed at protecting infiltrators,” as cited by news agency PTI.
The former BJP president further asserted that “The opposition`s vote bank politics has led them to make attempts for building a ghuspaithiya (infiltrator) corridor, unlike Narendra Modi, who is setting up an industrial corridor.”
Shah added, “When the government at the Centre was helmed by Manmohan Singh, Sonia Gandhi and Lalu, terrorists struck at will on our soil. In contrast, now we are beating up the terrorists inside their homes,” as per PTI.
Hailing Bihar’s contribution in the defence sector, Amit Shah asserted, “In the future, if terrorists from Pakistan dare to carry out an attack again, bullets fired by them will be retaliated with mortar shells. Do you know where these mortar shells will be manufactured? In Bihar, in Sasaram, Modi is trying to build a defence corridor here, as cited by PTI.
The BJP leader also lambasted the Congress and the RJD for “having tried to stall the construction of the Ram temple at Ayodhya, where an ancient Hindu shrine was allegedly razed ¿by Mughal emperor Babur 550 years ago.”
Union Home Minister and ex-BJP chief Amit Shah further said, “With Modi in power, a sky-high temple has been built at the spot,” as per PTI.
“I can tell you, in advance, the outcome of the ongoing elections. This is my 37th rally in the state, and I can say that Lalu Ji and his allies are going to be wiped out in the first phase itself,” he added.
Shah, while addressing the rally in Bihar, also urged all the people to “be on guard and not get complacent”.
“You must remember that the opposition may have come in a new garb, but their poll symbols remain the same lantern and `panjaa`, and so does their character,” Amit Shah asserted.
He also drew a contrast between Prasad, who has been convicted in fodder scam cases and named in many other corruption scandals, and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, the JD(U) president and NDA ally, who had no taint of corruption despite being in power for 20 years.
