Ahead of the Assembly polls in Karnataka, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday lashed out at the Congress and said that the grand old party has insulted Lord Bajrang Bali and no one has trust in Rahul Gandhi's guarantees. Speaking at a rally in Belagavi in the poll-bound state, he also said that it is the Bharatiya janata Party, who banned the Popular Front Of India (PFI).
"Congress party insulted Lord Bajrang Bali. No one has trust in Rahul Gandhi's guarantees. They were defeated in states like Tripura, Assam, and Nagaland. It's BJP who banned PFI and gave ration to the public, gave water facilities and health facilities. The double-engine government has worked for the benefit of the people," Amit Shah said in Belagavi, as quoted by the news agency ANI.
Speaking on farmers, Shah said that the saffron party has worked for the farmers in Karnataka and has given several benefits to them. Continuing his attack on the Congress, the former BJP chief said that they insulted Savarkar but BJP developed the Marathas and respected them.
"BJP has worked for the farmers here. We have given several benefits to the farmers. Congress insulted Savarkar. But BJP developed the Marathas and respected them. PM Modi fulfilled the dreams of Lord Ram devotees by constructing the Ram temple in Ayodhya," Amit Shah said. The Karnataka Assembly elections will be held in a single phase on May 10, with the counting of votes are scheduled for May 13.
