Union Home Minister Amit Shah delivered a fiery speech at a rally in Ghatal, targeting the opposition alliance and their alleged lack of leadership qualities fit for the role of Prime Minister. Shah specifically accused the INDI alliance of prioritizing dynastic ambitions over the welfare of the nation, asserting that their intentions do not align with the developmental needs of the country.
In his address, Amit Shah emphasized the significance of the ongoing parliamentary elections as a choice between leaders associated with dynastic politics and a leader like Narendra Modi, whom he portrayed as selflessly dedicated to the entire nation. Shah criticized prominent opposition leaders, including Sharad Pawar, Mamata Banerjee, Stalin, and Sonia Gandhi, accusing them of promoting familial succession in politics rather than prioritizing the overall development of the country.
Furthermore, Amit Shah made a bold assertion regarding Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, firmly stating that it is an integral part of India and reaffirming the government's commitment to reclaiming the region. He rebuked Congress leaders for their reluctance to support the demand to take over PoK, citing India's historical claim over the territory and dismissing concerns about Pakistan's possession of nuclear weapons as a deterrent. Shah's speech highlighted the contrasting visions of leadership between the incumbent Prime Minister Modi and the leaders of the opposition alliance, framing the election as a choice between dynastic politics and a leader dedicated to national progress.
