With Lok Sabha Elections 2019 round the corner, the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) held a public rally on Sunday. The rally was chaired by the BJP chief Amit Shah who targeted the Congress President Rahul Gandhi and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
Directly pointing the Congress and the ruling Party of the National Capital, Shah said, “The party will work hard to identify illegal immigrants living in the country once it will come to power after the next Lok Sabha Elections.” He further alleged that the Congress President Gandhi and the Delhi CM Kejriwal is care for them for vote bank politics.
Besides the Party Chief, the ‘Purvanachali Mahakumbh’ rally also witnessed several other senior political leaders from the party such as Union minister Harsh Vardhan, BJP general secretary(organisation) Ram Lal, Shahnawaz Hussain, party MPs Meenakshi Lekhi, Udit Raj, Parvesh Verma and others.
“Illegal infiltrators are also causing trouble in the national capital, and likened them to termites, action against who should not worry any patriot. After forming government in 2019, the BJP will undertake a nationwide identification of illegal infiltrators living in the country,” he said.
Shah also added that his party will repeat its 2014 feet and win all seven Lok Sabha seats in the city.
Following the ongoing National Register of Citizens (NRC) process in Assam, there has been increasing demand from many BJP leaders that an exercise should be undertaken in the rest of the country to identify illegal immigrants.
“The illegal infiltrators are acting like termites in this country. They are also causing problems in Delhi. Action against them should not worry any patriot. But, whenever we take action Rahul Baba and Kejriwal start complaining. They care for illegal infiltrators because of vote bank politics,” Shah said while addressing the Purvanchal Mahakumbh.
The BJP president further asked the Gandhi and Kejriwal to clear their stand of their respective parties on the issue of illegal immigrants living in the country.
Shah further alleged that “AAP leaders are “preventing” the development of Delhi in its three and a half years of rule. Kejriwal’s only mantra is to tell lies, and talk forcefully and repeatedly.”
Further targeting the Delhi CM, he said the Centre had given Rs 50,000 crore to the Delhi government in past four and a half years and alleged there was “anger” among people against AAP dispensation in the city.
“We are ready to take the challenge of the opposition parties for their idea of Maha Gath bandan for the upcoming polls. This Mahagathbandhan has no policy or leader. Rahul wants to lead the bandwagon but leaders like Sharad Pawar, Mamta Banerjee, Mayawati and Akhilesh Yadav are against it,” he claimed.
Lauding Purvanchali people for their contribution in the development of the country under the Modi government, the BJP chief said his party will not take rest till the eastern part of the country is as developed as the western part of it.
Accusing the Congress of doing “injustice” to the eastern region, including parts of UP, Bihar, Odisha and Jharkhand, Shah said the Modi Government had released 13.80 lakh crore and ensured development through expressways, hospitals and industries in the area.
