GANDHINAGAR, March 26: The BJP’s “massive” victory in four states is the testimony to the acceptance of policies and projects undertaken by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to make India safe, prosperous and powerful, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said here on Saturday.
Shah also said Congress is virtually finished in these four states- UP, Goa, Manipur, and Uttarakhand.
The Union minister was addressing a gathering at Bhoyan Moti village where he launched and laid the foundation stones for Rs 22-crore worth projects for 34 villages in his Gandhinagar Lok Sabha constituency in Gujarat.
“The victory in Uttar Pradesh, Goa, Manipur and Uttarakhand showed the trust that people have in the leadership of the prime minister,” he said.
Earlier in the day, Shah inaugurated Gujarat’s first Audiology Speech Language Pathology College and a Diet Center at Ahmedabad’s Sola civil hospital, making Gujarat the fifth state in the country to start such an institution.
Shah said he was visiting his Lok Sabha constituency after a long time as he was busy campaigning and managing elections in the five states of which BJP won and formed governments in four states.
“And in all these four states, Congress is finished, it is nowhere to be seen. The massive victory reflects the trust that the people of India have in the leadership of Narendrabhai (Modi),” he said.
“This massive win of BJP shows the acceptance of the policies and programmes of the government under the leadership of Narendra Modi. The massive victory is the stamp of approval by the public on the campaign undertaken by Narendrabhai to make India safe, prosperous and powerful,” Shah said.
He said Modi, as chief minister of Gujarat, had always worked tirelessly for “all-encompassing, all-inclusive development that touched everyone and across all the regions”.
“Modi cared about the health of all sections including the poor, farmer, or the factory worker,” Shah said while launching a cancer awareness campaign.
He said Ayushman Bharat Yojna has covered 100 crore people in the country. “Along with health checkups for children and Jan Aushadhi Kendra for discounted medicines, these schemes aim at better healthcare to the people,” he added. (PTI)
