Makrana (Rajasthan), Nov 07: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday said that by banning the Popular Front of India (PFI), Prime Minister Narendra Modi “crushed” appeasement politics in the whole country.
While addressing an election rally in Rajasthan’s Makrana, Amit Shah hit out at the ruling party, Congress and Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and alleged that many youths were murdered in the state because of Gehlot’s policy of appeasement.
“PM Modi crushed the appeasement politics by banning the PFI in the whole country. Krushna Valmiki was beaten to death in Jhalawad. In Alwar, the 300-year-old Shiv Temple was destroyed. In Salasar, Ram Darbar was bulldozed. Gehlot Sahab, the people of Rajasthan are not with you because it knows that if you come into power again, then you will revive the PFI,” Amit Shah said in Makrana.
He further said, “Kanhaiya Lal Teli was beheaded and murdered. Under their (Congress) rule there have been riots every now and then. Many youths like Kanhaiya Lal were murdered because of Ashok Gehlot’s policy of appeasement.”
Amit Shah attacked the Gehlot-led Congress government over the increasing cases of crime against women in the state and said, “Rajasthan is at the top in crime against women. Every day, 22 cases of crime against women are registered. And it doesn’t affect Ashok Gehlot at all. PM Modi gave 33 per cent reservation and gave respect to ‘Matri Shakti’.”
He also alleged that the state Government had created a world record in paper leaks.
“A world record was created by the Congress government in terms of the record of paper leaks. Three papers are leaked every year. Every paper of the Public Service Commission is leaked in the state. More than fourteen papers leaked in four years have served to corrupt the future of lakhs of youth. Constable recruitment paper leak, high court LDC recruitment paper leak, medical officers paper leak, CHO paper leak, Librarian recruitment paper leak, forest guard recruitment paper leak etc are examples of Congress government functioning” the Home Minister said.
“Gehlot did not say anything in paper leaks. Gehlot ji, a young man, works hard for two and a half to three years for one paper. And by leaking the paper, you provide employment to the Congress party’s sycophants,” Amit Shah further said.
“We will make such arrangements that there will be no paper leak in Rajasthan, ” he said.
Speaking on the blackout of electricity, he said, “Ashok Gehlot ji is called a magician by his Congress leaders. He has done magic; he caused an electricity blackout in Rajasthan. The maximum cut of electricity takes place in Rajasthan.”
Further, Amit Shah alleged that the Gehlot-led Rajasthan government had failed to deliver water to people as part of the Jal Jeevan Mission.
“The biggest problem in Rajasthan is supplying drinking water to villages. Modi ji made a plan for the entire country that tap water would be provided to every poor person in every house, but here, in the name of the Jal Jeevan Mission, twenty thousand crore rupees were spent and water was not allowed to reach people’s houses,” he said.
“Within two and a half years, if the BJP comes to power, tap water will reach to every house in Rajasthan,” said Shah.
In the 2018 assembly elections, the Congress won 99 seats while the BJP won 73 seats in the 200-member house. Ashok Gehlot came to power with the support of BSP MLAs and independents.
Rajasthan will go to polls on November 25, the counting of which will take place on December 5 along with four other state assembly elections.
