In a sharp rebuttal to Rahul Gandhi’s recent ‘Shakti’ remarks, Union Home Minister Amit Shah delivered a scathing critique, asserting the unwavering support of women towards Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Shah’s remarks came during his address at the News 18 Rising Bharat Summit 2024, where he lambasted Gandhi for purportedly disregarding Indian traditions and values.
Responding to Gandhi’s comments on ‘Shakti’ (power), Shah accused the Congress leader of being out of touch with the pulse of the nation and lacking respect for its cultural heritage. Shah emphasised the resilience and steadfastness of women in India, aligning their support firmly with PM Modi.
“He (Rahul Gandhi) does not know what he is doing. Women power in this country stands like a rock with PM Modi. Nari Shakti has decided that this time they will show Rahul Gandhi their true strength in the elections,” Shah asserted, highlighting the influential role of women in shaping the political landscape.
“The policy of Congress is that this country should be divided into two parts, South India and North India. But Rahul need not worry, now BJP is so powerful that Congress will not be able to divide the country for the second time. We will not let the country break into pieces” he added.
Further, speaking on the Electoral Bonds, the Union Home Minister pointed out that the BJP has received Rs 6,200 crore, while Indi Alliance has also received more than Rs 6,200 crore.
“There is an allegation against us that we have received a lot of donations, this is false. We have received Rs 6,200 crore. Whereas Indi Alliance led by Rahul Baba has received more than Rs 6,200 crore. While we have 303 seats, we have governments in 17 states, but how many seats does the Indi Alliance have?” he asked.
Shah also asserted that after Narendra Modi became the Prime Minister, swift action was taken against black money.
“Out of all the properties attached by ED, only 5 per cent belong to people associated with political parties, the rest belong to people with black money. Although the properties that have been confiscated are of people associated with political parties and are also black money, but they want that no action should be taken against them,” Amit Shah said.
He also emphasised that whoever commits corruption will face strict action and will go to jail.
“Rs 51 crores are received from Mamata’s minister’s house, Rs 355 crores are received from the Congress MP’s house, and they say that no action should be taken. Can Rahul Baba tell the people of the country where this money is going to go? They should answer this,” he added.
The Union Home Minister further added that the BJP’s target in the Lok Sabha polls is to cross 400 seats. And this goal will be achieved because, for the first time, a Prime Minister is fulfilling the hopes, aspirations, and dreams of the people of India.
“Opposition ‘loves’ Modi ji very much! Whenever the elections approach, they start abusing and attacking Modi ji more and more. But since 2001, it has been a record that the more they abuse him, the more strongly and beautifully the ‘Lotus’ blooms! This time also, the same will be repeated,” he said.
