Home Minister Amit Shah said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is heading the BJP-led camp working for the country’s development while the Congress-led “INDI alliance” is full of family-run parties and corruption, drawing comparisons between the forthcoming Lok Sabha polls and the Mahabharata war.
In his speech at the BJP’s national conference here, Mr Shah chastised the opposition INDIA alliance for promoting dynastic and appeasement politics.
He was addressing on the resolution “BJP: Desh ki aasha, vipaksha ki hatasha” (BJP: Country’s Hope, Opposition’s Despair).
He said the opposition is full of “2G, 3G and 4G” parties, a reference to the second, third, and fourth generation of families running these parties.
He said the prime minister has worked for the development of all sections of society and enhanced the country’s global standing. Mr Shah asserted there is no doubt in people’s mind that the prime minister will retain power for a third term.
While PM Modi thinks of the poor and the country’s development, INDIA bloc leaders think of making their children prime minister and chief ministers, he said, referring to Sonia Gandhi, Sharad Pawar, Lalu Prasad and M K Stalin among others.
All the family “princes” have come together against PM Modi as they think only someone from a powerful family can occupy the top position, he said amid slogans in support of PM Modi at the meeting.
“On the one hand there are family-run parties and on the other is the son of a poor mother,” he said.
The government has worked to lift the living standards of 60 crore poor who earlier felt left out of the development process, he said.
Opposition parties are in denial mode, he said, adding they oppose everything for the sake of it, be it the repeal of Article 370, ban on triple talaq, the Citizenship (Amendment) Act or the construction of the new Parliament building.
The Congress, he said, turned down the invite for the Ram temple consecration ceremony due to its appeasement politics.
If family politics existed in the BJP, the son of a tea vendor would not have become the country’s prime minister, he said.
