Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday slammed the INDIA bloc for practising dynastic politics, and said that in the upcoming elections, people have to choose between the one leader who worked for taking every section of society forward and those who promote their own family members.
He was addressing a public meeting in Mandla (ST) Lok Sabha seat for Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate and Union minister Faggan Singh Kulaste. “There is a team led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the one led by Congress party leadership. The only aim of the ‘ghamandia’ (arrogant) alliance is to promote their own family members, while Modi’s only aim is to take forward the poor, tribal, Dalits, backward and every section of the society,” he said.
In the 10 years of Modi rule, 25 crore people have come out of the below poverty line mark in the country, he said. In Madhya Pradesh alone, 95 lakh farmers were given the Kisan Samman Nidhi assistance, 70 lakh women got the facility of tap water in their houses and more than four crore people got the benefit of the Ayushman Bharat scheme that guarantees treatment up to Rs five lakh free of cost, he said.
