Amit Shah says the Opposition is suffering from 'Modi-phobia'
The Opposition is suffering from the "Narendra Modi-phobia", Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President, Amit Shah, said today. Addressing a rally in Narsinghpur in Madhya Pradesh ahead of the November 28 Assembly election, Shah took a dig at the Congress asking it to give an account of what the four generations of the Nehru-Gandhi family did when they ruled the country.
Shah hails Modi govt, says it launched 129 developmental schemes
"They (Opposition) just want to get rid of Modi, while we want to get rid of poverty, insecurity, and air-pollution among others," Shah said. He said the Modi government launched 129 developmental schemes in four years. "In a recent rally, Rahul Gandhi uttered Modi's name 44 times in his 22-minute speech. I'm wondering whether he's campaigning for BJP or Congress," Shah sarcastically commented.
'India third country in world to avenge its soldiers' killing'
Shah also lauded the Center for the Army's surgical strike on terror launchpads across the border post the Uri attack in 2016. "When the Uri terror attack took place, the entire country was angry. Modi ordered surgical strikes and made India the third country in the world after the US and Israel who have avenged killings of its soldiers," he said.
India ranked sixth in world economy during Modi's regime: Shah
The BJP Chief alleged that the former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had left the Indian economy at ninth position in the world in 2014, which, he said, the BJP raised to the sixth position. "By the time counting of these polls is done (on December 11), India would have surpassed the UK to become the fifth-largest economy in the world," he added.
