Bharatiya Janata Party chief Amit Shah on Sunday lashed out at the Congress party and blamed them for indulging in “appeasement politics” after Congress leader Charan Singh Sapra raked up ‘riot politics’ and dared Prime Minister Narendra Modi to “apologize in Jama Masjid” for the 2002 riots.
“Congress had laid the foundation of Gujarat election on casteism. The would-be President of Congress started hopping from temple to temple. Congress has been the creator of polarisation in India,” Amit Shah said.
“Congress’ Charan Singh said Prime Minister Modi must go inside Jama Masjid and apologies for 2002 riots. Entire nation knows the allegations leveled on the Prime Minister by the Congress-backed NGO were all false. Yet for vote bank consolidation, 2002 is being raised in 2017,” Shah told
BJP Leader S. Prakash says instead of focusing their attention on development, Congress is trying to evoke Gujarat riots to win over the Muslim votes.
“Several cases have been filed and many have been convicted also, unlike in 1984 riots, where the Congress did not show any interest to convict those who were involved in the Sikh massacre,” Prakash added.
“This is a shameful statement by the Congress. They apologized for their deeds in 1984 anti-Sikh riots and now they are creating a baseless controversy. The truth is only those people who have committed mistakes apologize, but those who have not done anything wrong why they will serve an apology,” BJP leader Bizay Sonkar Shastri told
The first phase of polling took place on Saturday and recorded a voter turnout of 66.75 percent in 89 of 182 constituencies.
The second-phase voting in remaining 93 constituencies is on December 14, and the votes will be counted on December 18.
