‘PM Modi a messiah of poor’: Amit Shah sounds poll bugle in MP | India News – Times of India

INDORE: Union home minister Amit Shah on Sunday sounded the poll bugle in Madhya Pradesh’s Malwa region by launching a scathing attack on the Congress party and the Kamal Nath government that was in power for one-and-half years in the state. Shah termed PM Modi a “messiah of the poor” and a “strong leader”, who stood up to the challenges confronting national security.

Addressing the ‘Vijay Sankalp Sammelan’ of BJP booth-level workers at Kankeshwari ground here, Shah highlighted the national security initiatives of the Modi government and alleged that during the UPA rule between 2004 and 2014, Pakistan-sponsored terrorists had attacked our soldiers, but the government failed to utter a single word. When similar incidents in Uri and Pathankot happened, PM Modi’s government responded with surgical and air strikes deep inside Pakistan, claimed Shah.
He said the Congress nurtured Article 370 “as its own child for 70 years”, but the Modi government nullified it in August 2019 to unite Kashmir with the rest of India, claimed Shah.

Likewise, Congress was dilly-dallying the construction of Lord Ram temple in Ayodhya. One day, under PM Modi’s leadership, the court decided the matter and now the temple is under construction, Shah added. PM Modi further paved the way for construction of Mahakal Corridor, Kashi Vishwanath Corridor, development of Somnath temple and other religious places, Shah said.
He spoke about various flagship schemes of the Union and state governments, informing about those benefitted from them in MP. Shah accused the previous Kamal Nath government of being corrupt and said it scrapped about 51 welfare schemes for the poor started by the Shivraj Singh Chouhan government. “Ask Kamal Nath when he comes next time, why did he do that.”
“I will tell you why he stopped those schemes. The welfare schemes were stopped to use the money to release tenders for mega projects to take commission from contractors”, he alleged.
Shah claimed that the Congress government failed to set up a single industry in MP, instead it presided over a “transfer industry” that shuffled around 18,000 class-one officers. Whatever industrialization happened in MP was due to the efforts of the Shivraj Singh Chauhan government under the leadership of PM Modi, said Shah.
