Aurangabad (Bihar) [India], May 26 (ANI): Union Home Minister Amit Shah targeted Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad alleging that the latter has forgotten the “language of development” and wants to bring back politics of “tel pilawan and lathi ghoomawan.”
“Lalu ji’s alliance wants to bring back the politics of ‘tel pilawan and lathi ghoomawan’ whereas Modiji wants to bring the politics of development. Lalu ji, who has been indulged in many scams, has today forgotten the language of development,” Shah said while addressing a public rally in Bihar’s Karakat Lok Sabha constituency on Sunday.
Shah alleged that the RJD chief has “taken shelter” of an “anti-backwards party” referring to the opposition alliance, the INDIA bloc, further claiming that the latter has joined hands with the Congress to make his son Chief Minister.
“Congress has always opposed the backward and extremely backward societies whereas our leader Narendra Modi ji worked to give constitutional respect to the backward society by forming Backward Class Commission,” he said.
The Union Home Minister also claimed that the governemnt under PM Modi raised the budget for Dalit welfare to over Rs 1 lakh crore which was way less during the UPA government 10 years back.
“When Congress was in power, their budget for Dalit welfare was only Rs 41,000 crore. The work of increasing it to Rs 1,65,000 crore has been done by Narendra Modi ji. In 10 years, UPA’s Sonia-Manmohan government had given only Rs 2,80,000 crore to Bihar. Whereas Narendra Modi ji has given Rs 14,23,000 crore for the development of Bihar,” Shah said.
Shah also reiterated his statement of “reclaiming” Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir and said, “Congress says that Pakistan has the atom bomb, don’t ask for PoK from it. I want to say from here today that PoK belongs to India and will remain so and we will have it.”
He further claimed that the PM Modi-led NDA has crossed 310 seats in the five phases of the ongoing Lok Sabha elections and expressed confidence in the alliance crossing 400 seats in the remaining phases.
“Yesterday, 6 phases of elections were completed. In 5 phases only, PM Modi has completed the task of forming the government by winning 310 seats. This sixth and seventh phase is to cross 400 seats,” he said. (ANI)
