Amit Shah in Gujarat: ‘Anyone from Pak entered under mauni Manmohan’

Shah on Saturday laid the foundation stone for and inaugurated several projects helmed by the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) and the Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority. Several municipal corporations in Gujarat, including the AMC, are due for elections next year.

Shah took on the Opposition not only on lack of delivery of welfare schemes but also other aspects such as foreign policy, on the legacy of Sardar Patel and abrogation of special status to J&K under Article 370.

“Sardar Patel, who integrated 629 kings and princes to make India one place, was missed in Kashmir…. In five-six years, Narendrabhai removed (Article) 370 and 35A to complete India. With this, the road to development in Kashmir has opened…. I want to tell Congress leaders that (since the Centre’s decision on J&K on August 5) not a single bullet has been fired, not a single death has occurred in Kashmir.”

“Since 2014, Narendrabhai has been working on building respect for our country the world over. He goes to America, China, Russia, Australia, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Nepal, Bangladesh… wherever he goes, he is welcomed with chants of ‘Modi Modi’. This makes the Congress jealous. I want to tell my friends (in Congress) that the welcome is not for Modi, it is not for the BJP’s symbol; this welcome is for the prosperity of 125 crore Indians…”

He also said, “When we spoke of making toilets, Congress leaders mocked us, saying we are working on developing toilets in the 21st century. I am proud that Narendrabhai provided 10 crore poor families with toilets.”
