Lok Sabha Elections: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Thursday showed immense confidence in the alleged surgical strikes carried out in Balakot and Uri in the year 2019 and 2016 respectively. ‘Mixed the tune of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Rajnath Singh’Will you enter the house and kill you? While quipping, BJP leader Amit Shah mocked former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, saying that “as PM, Singh was silent on terrorist attacks from Pakistan”.
Union Home Minister and BJP leader Amit Shah made his statement praising PM Modi before the Lok Sabha elections, saying, “Modi did surgical strikes as PM”.
It is noteworthy that former Prime Minister and Congress leader Manmohan Singh has retired from Rajya Sabha this year. PM Modi had paid tribute to his predecessor Dr Manmohan Singh, who ruled India between 2004 and 2014. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said in the Rajya Sabha, “Manmohan Singh came to vote in the Rajya Sabha in a wheelchair to help strengthen democracy.”
“I would like to remember Dr. Manmohan Singh today, in the House, with his invaluable thoughts, his contribution both as a leader and in the opposition has been immense. Dr Manmohan Singh will always be remembered for the way he has guided this House and the country, for so long,” PM Modi said during his speech in the Rajya Sabha.
Amit Shah was addressing back to back public meetings in Nanded, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra on Thursday. Union Home Minister Amit Shah also claimed that it was thanks to the BJP that Aurangabad in Central Maharashtra was renamed as Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar and Osmanabad as Dharashiv.
He alleged, Congress stopped the construction of Ram temple in Ayodhya for 70 years.
Shah said, as Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh remained silent when terrorists from Pakistan attacked the country, while Modi carried out surgical strikes in response to such attacks.
“The upcoming Lok Sabha elections are to make Narendra Modi the PM for the third time,” the Union Home Minister said at the Nanded rally.
