PoK an integral part of India, it will never be compromised at any cost: Amit Shah

Palghar is a reserved Scheduled Tribe constituency where BJP’s Hemant Savra is contesting against Shiv Sena (UBT) candidate Bharati Kamadi. Hemant Savra is the son of late BJP leader and former tribal welfare minister Vidhnu Savra who passed away in 2020. In 2019, Palghar was represented by the sitting undivided Shiv Sena MP Rajendra Gavit.

Ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, Gavit joined the BJP. The party has promised to utilise his experience in the coming assembly elections.

While exuding confidence on NDA’s return to power in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, Shah said, “The INDIA bloc cannot withstand the popularity of PM Narendra Modi in the polls.”

Outlining ten years of governance and twenty-five years of developmental roadmap ahead, the home minister said that PM Modi will return to power at the Centre for the third term. “The elections are to decide who can reassure development and security to the people of India. In PM Modi, we have a strong and decisive leader who has proved his administrative ability. Whereas INDIA bloc is leaderless without any definite roadmap for the country,” he said.

“Modi’s leadership led to fulfilment of long-pending issues such as Ram temple construction, abrogation of Article 370. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and Shiv Sena (UBT) president Uddhav Thackeray turned down the request to attend the Ram temple consecration ceremony,” he said. “The people will show who is real Shiv Sena and who is fake Shiv Sena in the elections. Thackeray has compromised Hindutva ideology for power. He has joined hands with political parties which are defending terrorists like Ajmal Kasab which is shocking and shameful,” Amit Shah said.

According to Shah, “The election of Modi for a third term as PM would be a befitting reply to Pakistan.”
