Union Home Minister’s Rally in Chhattisgarh
The Union Home Minister Shri Amit Shah, addressing a huge ‘Parivartan Sankalp Mahasabha’ during the filing of nomination of BJP National Vice President and former CM Dr Raman Singh in Rajnandgaon on 16 October, 2023 severely blamed the appeasement politics of Congress government and asked the voters to remove the Congress from office in next month’s assembly polls to prevent communal violence in future. Shri Shah referred to the communal clashes in Biranpur village, adjacent to Rajnandgaon, in which 23-year-old Bhuneshwar Sahu was murdered on April 8. Noteworthy, voting in Rajnandgaon is in the first phase on 07 November.
Speaking to the gathering Shri Shah said, “Congress will continue with its politics of appeasement if it wins the election again in Chhattisgarh but I assure you that Bhuneshwar Sahu’s sacrifice will not be in vain. We will ensure that his murderers must get severe punishment.”
The Union Home Minister said the Congress government in the state is neck deep in corruption. “Tell us what you have given to Chhattisgarh besides scams, he asked and said Congress has turned Chhattisgarh into a hub of corruption”.
He said during the Congress regime the funds of Chhattisgarh are diverted to Delhi Durbar. “Chhattisgarh was being used as an ATM by Congress party and only the Gandhi family is satisfied with the Baghel-led government as funds meant for the youth, tribals, and Dalits are being redirected to pamper the Delhi Darbar” he said.
The Union Home Minister said during the BJP rule several decisions were taken to develop Chhattisgarh into a prosperous state. The BJP granted official status to the Chhattisgarhi language and significant developments were made in education, power, and cement industries. Chhattisgarh was the first state to provide 150 days of employment to the poor and Dr Raman Singh worked to free farmers from a 14% interest rate. Shri Amit Shah also highlighted the 33% women’s quota bill as a step-in empowerment of the women. He said the BJP-led Central government built a medical college at a cost of Rs 370 crore in Rajnandgaon, and Rs 3 lakh crore was given to the Chhattisgarh government for welfare schemes. Whereas, on the other hand, the Baghel government has been involved in 2,000 crore liquor scams, a coal scam worth over Rs 500 crore, and a scandal related to cow dung and the Mahadev App,” Shri Shah added.
Secunderabad, Telangana
‘Congress and BRS did nothing for the poor in Telangana’
Union Home and Cooperation Minister and senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader Shri Amit Shah interacted with professionals and intellectuals in Secunderabad, Telangana on October 10, 2023, and called upon them to cooperate in forming the Bharatiya Janata Party government for the development of Telangana. State BJP President Shri G. Kishan Reddy, party’s national spokesperson and former MP Syed Zafar Islam and many dignitaries of the party were present in the programme.
Shri Shah said that the people of Telangana have three options – the first is the Bharatiya Janata Party, the second is the Congress, and the third is the currently ruling BRS. You have seen the rules of both Congress and BRS. Both of them did nothing for the poor, tribals, Dalits and backward people here. You have seen the government of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi at the center. Give us a chance, and we will ensure that Telangana ranks among the leading states of the country in 5 years.
While talking about the principles of the Bharatiya Janata Party, the Union Home and Cooperation Minister said that the Bharatiya Janata Party is a party based on principles. Along with this, he attacked KCR and said that KCR should declare the principles of his party and tell on which policy his party runs. The only goal of his party is to save Kavita from going to jail and make KTR the Chief Minister. These family-based parties cannot do any good for democracy. By wearing the garb of democratic parties, these people are carrying forward the politics of their family. A party that does not have democracy in its organisation can use the platform of democracy not for the welfare of the public but only for the welfare of its own family.
Taking a dig at the opposition alliance, the Union Home and Cooperation Minister said that all the opposition parties have come together because they have no other option; all these family-based parties are in politics for their next generation, whereas the Bharatiya Janata Party is in politics of bringing Maa Bharati to the first place in the world. When the aim is the welfare of the family, then there cannot be public welfare, and I have come to tell this to the people of Telangana.
65% fall in incidents of terrorism, Left-wing extremism and insurgency in Northeast : Amit Shah
Union Home Minister Shri Amit Shah attended the National Police Memorial Day and paid his tributes to police personnel who lost their lives in the line of duty at the National Police Memorial in New Delhi on 21 October, 2023 and said the Central government is bringing three new laws which will change the criminal justice system in the country.
Police has always proved itself
Speaking at the event, Shri Amit Shah said, “In any nation, border security or internal security is not possible without an alert police force. I have observed that police duty is the toughest among all the people serving the country. In any weather or festival, a policeman is always on duty to maintain law and order. Whether it is terrorism, crime, or huge crowds, police have always been there to secure the lives of the common people. The police of our nation has always proved itself on every point.”
Government of India bringing three new laws
Shri Amit Shah said, “The Government of India is bringing three new laws under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi which will change our criminal justice system. All three were built during the British period. Now, not only will Indianness be reaflected in these laws, but the rights of every citizen will also be protected in the spirit of our Constitution”.
65 percent reduction in terrorism
The Home Minister further emphasized that due to the contribution of police personnel, in the last year, there has been a 65 percent reduction in terrorism, militancy, and naxal attacks. “Whether it is an area of leftist extremism, be it the North East states, be it Jammu and Kashmir. Our soldiers have succeeded in keeping the situation normal at these three places,” he said.
Zero-tolerance policy against terrorism
“Keeping the zero-tolerance policy against terrorism, we have not only made strict laws, but by setting up the Police Technology Mission, it is our effort to become the best force against terrorism,” he added.
