Amit Shah: Lok Sabha polls a battle between democracy, dynasts

Union Home Minister Amit Shah Sunday launched a scathing attack on the Congress and the INDIA bloc, calling the coming Lok Sabha elections a battle of democracy and development versus dynastic parties.

Presenting the second resolution of the two-day BJP national council, Shah said, “How can those who could not bring democracy in their party nurture democracy in the country? The battle is between democratic, developmental alliance and dynastic alliance,” Shah said.

He said all the INDIA bloc leaders had just one aim — making their sons and daughters PM or CM. “Can they, who have this aim, work for the poor or the country? These are 2G or 3G parties, meaning second- or third-generation parties. In these parties, the talented and the hardworking can never progress. Had the BJP been dynastic like them, someone who sold tea would never have become PM,” Shah said.

“Modi is from a very poor family; President Droupadi Murmu comes from a poor adivasi family. The Vice-President comes from a farmer family. We have made our party democratic. The dynastic parties can never ensure the welfare of the nation; only the BJP under Modi can,” he said.

Fashioning the upcoming Lok Sabha election as a battle between the Kauravas and Pandavas, Shah said the country has to choose between the “dynastic INDIA bloc” and an NDA committed to the nation. He said the country has to choose between “corrupt, appeasement-loving INDIA bloc” and the NDA.

“The Congress is the janak (father) of corruption and nurtured it,” Shah said, reeling out names of the scams the Congress was accused of in the UPA days and earlier. “From land, sea or space, the Congress did corruption everywhere. The opponents could not accuse Modi of one paisa of corruption in 10 years,” Shah said.

The Home Minister then proceeded to praise Narendra Modi for his approach in the Prime Minister’s post. “Prime Minister Narendra Modi liberated India from mass inferiority complex and slave mentality, something that should have happened at Independence,” Shah said, adding that under Modi 3.0, the country would be free from terrorism and Naxalism.

He said earlier there was a false binary between a government of farmers and a government of industry, and that Modi had proved that the government can work for all classes and sections simultaneously.

Shah said the need of the hour was to take forward the message that once Modi comes to power for a third time, India would become the third largest economy. Modi also ensured national security and then made India Vishwa Mitr (world’s friend), he said.

Shah said, “Panth nirpekhshta is part of our tradition; the state has no religion. But Congress manipulated even the Constitution to bring appeasement into politics. They even opposed the rights of Muslim women. They also opposed the UCC…,” Shah said, adding that while Congress believed minorities had the first right on resources, Modi believed that the poor had the first right.
