2nd Generation, 3rd Generation Parties: Amit Shah's Dig At Family Dynasties In Opposition INDIA Bloc

‘pm modi aims at self-reliant india, sonia gandhi’s aim is…’: amit shah’s dig at opposition at bjp meet

New Delhi: Home Minister Amit Shah, addressing BJP national convention in Delhi, today praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for working selflessly for the country’s development – a quality not seen in opposition leaders, he said.

The opposition leaders aimed family first, nation nothing politics, he said. “Those who aim to grab power for their family, will they ever think of the welfare of the poor?” he asked.

“What is their (INDIA alliance) objective in politics? PM Modi aims at self-reliant India. Sonia Gandhi’s aim is to make Rahul Gandhi the PM , Pawar Saheb’s aim is to make his daughter the CM, Mamata Banerjee’s aim is to make her nephew the CM, Stalin’s aim is to make his son the CM, Lalu Yadav’s aim is to make his son the CM, Uddhav Thackeray’s aim is to make his son the CM and Mulayam Singh Yadav ensured that his son becomes the CM,” he said.

Likening the upcoming Lok Sabha polls to Mahabharat war, Amit Shah said PM Modi is leading one group and the Congress is leading family-run parties known for graft and appeasement.

“There is no doubt in country; people have made up their mind that PM Modi will retain power,” he said.

“The reason for corruption in this country is Congress. The people of this country have to decide whether they want to leave the future of this country to these corrupt parties or to Narendra Modi ji, on whom even the opposition can make no allegations,” he said.

Congress turned down invite for Ram temple consecration ceremony due to its appeasement politics, he said. The BJP national convention hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the Ram temple consecration event in Ayodhya, saying the dream of “every Indian” was realised and Ram Lalla returned “home”.

The opposition parties, he said, are in denial mode. “They oppose everything for the sake of it,” Shah said at BJP convention.

In a resolution passed on Saturday at the national council meeting of the party, the BJP said, “This national convention heartily congratulates Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the consecration of the idol of Ram Lalla in less than four years after Bhoomi Poojan.”

The resolution, which was passed in the presence of Prime Minister Modi, stated the party, ever since its inception, was committed to the construction of a grand temple at the birthplace of Lord Ram.

“None of us (had) thought that a time would come when a grand temple would be built in Ayodhya and Ram Lalla would return home,” the resolution said.

The BJP resolution also hailed Modi for “writing a new chapter” of farmer welfare as it listed various measures taken by his government on this front.

It also hailed the prime minister for the abrogation of Article 370.

“The National Convention of the BJP heartily congratulates Prime Minister Narendra Modi for making Jammu and Kashmir an integral part of India and for eliminating terrorism and separatism in the region, paving the way for development,” it added.

The resolution highlighted the achievements of the Modi government and said that throughout the tenure of many dispensations in the past, only a handful of achievements typically stand out.

The BJP national meet congratulated the prime minister for the successful G-20 summit, construction of the new parliament building, passage of women’s reservation bill and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita as well as the country’s “flight into space”.

“The national convention heartily congratulates Prime Minister Narendra Modi for making the country economically strong and one of the leading economies in the world.”

The BJP national meet also expressed gratitude towards Prime Minister Modi for an “all-encompassing and all-inclusive” development of the country on the principles of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’ “by eliminating the politics of caste, family and appeasement from the country.”
