Sounding poll bugle at a rally in Congress-stronghold Janjgir in the Chhattisgarh, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday said the upcoming parliamentary election would decide the future of the country.
Addressing a public rally here, Shah said the name of Prime Minister Narendra Modi itself was a guarantee and he needs to be throne again in order to make India a developed nation and Vishva Guru.
He urged the people of Chhattisgarh to elect Prime Minister Narendra Modi for a third term in office to make India third largest economy of the world. .
“Earlier India was 11th largest economy in world and now it is at the fifth position. If Modi is voted to power once again we will attain the status of third largest economy in the world”, Shah said.
Shah also hit out at the Congress, accusing it of delaying construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya for 75 years. The BJP won ten out of 11 Lok Sabha seats in the state in 2014 and nine seats in 2019, Shah noted, adding that in the recently held assembly elections people voted his party to power with a thumping majority.
“The incompetent Congress government neither controlled Naxalism, nor did it ensure justice to the people. It committed corruption and did injustice to the people, who then ousted it from power,” Shah said.
Among other things, the Modi government provided tap water connections to 60 crore poor people in the country including 38 lakh households in Chhattisgarh in the last ten years, he said.
The Vishnu Deo Sai-led BJP government in the state has completed 30 percent of “Modi ki guarantee” (BJP’s poll promises) so far, the Union minister claimed.
“Chhattisgarh is Lord Ram’s Nanihal (maternal home). But the Congress did not resolve the 550-year-old (Ram Mandir) issue in the last 75 years. But Modi solved it and performed consecration of Ram Lalla (lord Ram’s idol) in Ayodhya,” he claimed.
