Union Home Minister Amit Shah articulated that the coalition of dynastic parties, spearheaded by the Congress, embodies an attitude of arrogance, fostering a political landscape rife with corruption, nepotism, and appeasement. In contrast, he underscored the ethos of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA), which prioritizes the overarching welfare of the nation.
Addressing attendees on the second day of the BJP's national convention held at Delhi's Bharat Mandapam, Shah delineated the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections as a decisive moment where two contrasting ideologies will contend.
"At this juncture, the electorate faces a critical choice between the conceited alliance of dynastic entities orchestrated by the Congress and the BJP-led NDA helmed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi," Shah asserted.
He elaborated on how the "arrogant alliance" perpetuates a culture of malfeasance, favoritism, and pandering, contrasting sharply with the NDA's commitment to placing the nation's interests at the forefront of governance.
Moreover, Shah rebuked the Congress, attributing it as the epicenter of corruption within the nation's political spectrum. He alleged that both the Congress and the Opposition INDIA bloc exploit marginalized communities such as Dalits, tribals, and backward classes for electoral gains.
"Citing examples of the Congress's misdeeds, Shah highlighted instances where democratic institutions such as the media, the Election Commission, and the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) were undermined or manipulated. He also criticized the party's frequent invocation of Article 356, accusing it of subverting democratic processes on numerous occasions.
Furthermore, Shah scrutinized the objectives of the INDIA bloc, pointing out the familial ambitions of its prominent leaders. He illustrated how figures like Sonia Gandhi, Sharad Pawar, Mamata Banerjee, Stalin, Lalu Yadav, Uddhav Thackeray, and Mulayam Singh Yadav prioritize familial succession over the nation's interests.
Reflecting on India's democratic journey over the past 75 years, Shah highlighted the plethora of electoral exercises, governments, and Prime Ministers the nation has witnessed. He credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi's tenure as a transformative period characterized by comprehensive development across all sectors and demographics.
Shah reiterated the nation's unwavering support for Modi's leadership, expressing confidence in his re-election as Prime Minister. He outlined a vision for India's future under Modi's stewardship, envisioning a nation liberated from the shackles of terrorism, extremism, and Naxalism, poised to realize its potential as a peaceful and prosperous entity in Modi 3.0.
