Amit Shah harkens back to Congress raj; highlights 3Ds of governance
Ahead of the polls, Amit Shah addressed a rally where alleged the rule of Congress government led by Bhupinder Singh Hooda in Haryana was marked by corruption
Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday accused the Congress of raising questions over the Central government's move to identify 'infiltrators' and said they will be made to leave the country in the next five years.
Ahead of the polls, Shah attended a rally where alleged the rule of Congress government led by Bhupinder Singh Hooda in the state was marked by corruption. Targeting Congress over land deals involving Robert Vadra, son-in-law of Congress president Sonia Gandhi, he said the Congress government worked on the principle of three Ds - Government of 'Darbaris' (courtiers), Government of 'Damad' (son-in-law) and Government of 'Damad Ke Dalal'(brokers of son-in-law).
He also alleged the Congress was opposed to the National Register of Citizens and raised questions over the move to make the intruders leave the country.
"Congress opposes repeal of Article 370, NRC. Its leaders ask why intruders are being removed. Howsoever they may oppose, every intruder will be forced to leave the country," he said.
Amit Shah then highlighted the efforts of the Khattar-led BJP govt and said that the pair of Prime Minister Modi and Chief Minister Khattar have worked to give Haryana the double engine of development. For the first time, Haryana has got a government free of casteism, familism, and corruption, which the public has made up its mind to choose again.
