Gujarat polls – A fight between Congress’s caste politics and PM’s agenda of development,says Amit Shah
BJP president Amit Shah on Tuesday said the upcoming Gujarat Assembly poll was a fight between Congress’s caste and dynastic politics, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s development agenda.
He added that Rahul Gandhi’s visits to Gujarat have increased as the Congress vice president thinks the state is a “tourist spot”.
Shah also raked up Congress leaders’ statements on autonomy for Kashmir and on the Rohingya refugee issue, daring the Opposition party and Gandhi to make clear their stand.
“The Gujarat election 2017 is not just a fight between two parties or a fight for who will become the CM, but it is to decide if ‘jaativad’ (casteism) and ‘vanshvad’ (dynastic rule) will win or Narendra Modi’s ‘vikasvad’ (development politics) will triumph,” Shah said.
“The people of Gujarat have to decide, will they choose Congress which had tried to create a caste divide between 1985 and 1995 by putting KHAM theory into practice, or choose the development and stability provided by the BJP government from 1995 to 2017,” Shah said.
“Rahul Gandhi thinks this is a tourist spot. He is coming here quite often… He should come here and give an account of what the Sonia-Manmohan government, which ruled in Delhi for 10 years, did for Gujarat,” Shah said.
Gujarat goes to polls in December, where the first phase for 89 seats will be held on the 9th and for the remaining 93 seats it will be held on the 14th.
The results will be announced along with that of Himachal Pradesh on December 18.
