Delhi assembly polls: Your vote will keep country secured, says Amit Shah

NEW DELHI: Union home minister Amit Shah in his campaign rallies at Badli and Bawana on Saturday night said that Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi through their vote bank politics had made Delhi unsafe for everyone. He accused the Aam Aadmi Party government of not only failing to keep its promises, but also supporting those who wanted to break the country. Shah also attacked AAP for opposing the abrogation of Article 370 and questioning the “surgical strike.”
“Your vote on February 8 will not only ensure the future of Delhi but also the security of the country,” said Shah.

Attacking Kejriwal for not delivering on his promises of setting up 1,000 schools, 50 colleges and buying 5,000 DTC buses, apart from providing clean water, Shah said: “The status of education has worsened. Kejriwal has given poisonous air and water to the people of Delhi.”
Promising the slum dwellers two-room pucca houses, he also attacked Kejriwal for delaying and blocking the Union government’s action to regularise the unauthorised colonies. “Modiji wrote to Kejriwal in 2015 and 2017 for the list of the colonies. He said it would take two years. When Modiji came to power in 2019, we identified the colonies through satellite mapping and started the process of regularising them,” he said.
Attacking Rahul Gandhi and Kejriwal in the same breath, Shah said they supported those who raised anti-national slogans in JNU. Kejriwal government didn’t permit prosecution to those who raised slogans to break the country, he added. “Mauni Baba, Rahul Baba and Kejriwal, you can abuse me and my party, but abusing the country will not be tolerated. Delhi will decide whether it will vote for tukde tukde supporters or those who want to put them in jail.”
