Amit Shah says BJP ended casteism
Addressing media to highlight Modi government's achievements, Mr Shah also took a dig at the opposition parties.
New Delhi: Asserting that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has laid the foundation of a ‘mahaan bharat (great India)’, BJP president Amit Shah on Friday said the BJP-led NDA government has crossed new milestones and accomplished exceptional achievements in various fields. Listing Modi government’s achievements, including notebandi and surgical strike across border, Mr Shah “appreciated and supported” the action of Major Nitin Leetul Gogoi for “saving” the lives of people.
Army and the government had to face flak over Major Gogoi’s action of tying a man in front of his jeep as a “shield” to avoid stone pelting in Jammu and Kashmir. On Modi government’s third anniversary, Opposition parties have alleged that the country was “on the verge of strife” and had a “dark future” under Modi dispensation.
Addressing media to highlight Modi government’s achievements, Mr Shah also took a dig at the opposition parties. He said while the opposition is busy strategising how to corner the Modi government, the ruling BJP is busy planning how to take the country forward. On the Presidential issue, over which the opposition parties have decided to come together and field a candidate in case the government does not try to evolve a consensus, Mr Shah said the BJP will hold consultation with the opposition at an “appropriate time”.
“We have succeeded in bringing several changes in the national politics. The UP polls have underlined it. We have virtually finished casteism, family rule and appeasement,” he said.
