Kushinagar/Ballia/Chandauli, May 27: Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge will lose his job after the Lok Sabha poll results are announced on June 4 but Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra will not be blamed for the defeat, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said on Monday.
Shah said Rahul Gandhi’s people will also do a press conference post polls, saying they lost due to EVMs.
The Union home minister also addressed election rallies in Ballia and Chandauli.
“I have the details of the first five phases. In five phases of the Lok Sabha polls, PM Modi has crossed 310 seats. Rahul will not cross 40 and Akhilesh Yadav will not get even 4 seats on June 4,” he said at an election rally in Kushinagar.
Shah said Kharge will lose his job as “bhai behen” (Rahul and Priyanka) will not be blamed for the defeat.
Slamming the SP and the Congress, he said while PM Narendra Modi was born in the house of a backward, both Rahul and Akhilesh were born with a silver spoon and do not know about the problems being faced by the people of Purvanchal (eastern UP).
“They did not like the weather of the country. Rahul used to go to Thailand on leave every six months. They did not tolerate the heat of Purvanchal. While PM Modi has not taken a single leave in his tenure,” he said.
While accusing Rahul Gandhi and Akhilesh Yadav of being involved in corruption, the senior BJP leader said Modi has never faced any such allegation.
“As chief minister and prime minister, no allegation of corruption of even 25 paisa was levelled against Modi while the two ‘shehzade’ (Rahul and Akhilesh) were involved in corruption worth Rs 12 lakh crore,” he alleged without elaborating.
Referring to the Sahara group, Shah claimed, “Akhilesh’s party used to run from Sahara’s fund. The scam was done in their (SP) regime. We have ensured a refund of people’s money and the process has started.” The Sahara group firms were accused of circumventing regulations with Ponzi schemes. The group has denied the charges.
Further attacking the SP, Shah claimed in the previous regime there was “one district one mafia” but now we have “one district one product” scheme to benefit the people.
Shah said the sugar mills were closed in the previous SP-BSP regimes while the Yogi Adityanath government has paid cane dues to the farmers.
‘This is an election between Ram ‘bhakts’ and Ram ‘drohis’
Union Home Minister Amit Shah slammed the Samajwadi Party and its INDIA bloc partners during an election rally in Uttar Pradesh’s Kushinagar, saying that this was an election between the Ram ‘bhakts’ and Ram ‘drohis’.
Home Minister Shah said that if the INDIA bloc came to power, they would, in their first year, reimpose Article 370 in Kashmir and in the second year, they would lift the ban on triple talaq.
“In their third year, they will lift the ban on PFI and in the fourth year, they will initiate talks with terror groups. In the fifth year, they will put a lock on Ram temple. This is an election between Ram bhakts and Ram-drohis,” he said.
HM Shah slammed the Samajwadi Party and said that the Rs 85,000 crore scam in Sahara had taken place during his regime.
He said that people who had suffered in this scam were now getting back their money.
The Union Minister further said that it was only Prime Minister Narendra Modi who could give a befitting reply to Pakistan.
“PM Modi alone could have saved you during Covid and he countered all threats to the country’. (PTI)
