'Next 30-40 Years Will Be Era Of BJP': Amit Shah At National Executive Meet In Hyderabad
Taking a swipe at the Congress, Shah said that it has become a party of family, with the Gandhi family not letting internal organisational elections happen out of fear of losing its control.
New Delhi: Addressing the BJP’s national executive meeting in Hyderabad on Sunday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said the next 30-40 years will be the era of the BJP and India will become a ‘Vishwa Guru’ (world leader) in the next few decades, news agency PTI reported. While proposing political resolution, Shah further claimed that the saffron party will end “family rule” in Telangana and West Bengal in the upcoming elections.
Citing the BJP’s victory in some recent polls as an endorsement of its “politics of development and performance”, Shah called for ending the politics of dynasty, casteism and appeasement.
The Union Home Minister identified southern India as the region for its next round of growth, and said that the opposition has become disjointed and dispirited with members of the Congress fighting for democracy within their organisation.
Taking a swipe at the Congress, Shah said that it has become a party of family, with the Gandhi family not letting internal organisational elections happen out of fear of losing its control.
"The Congress has been affected by 'Modi phobia' and opposes every decision of the Modi government taken in national interest," he said.
Hailing the Supreme Court’s order on the 2002 Gujarat riots, which gave a clean chit to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Shah said that the order was “historic”.
Briefing reporters on Amit Shah's speech, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said that PM Modi never did the kind of "drama" that Rahul Gandhi did while facing a lawful investigation, referring to the protests against ED probe in the National Herald case.
The BJP’s political resolution also praised the military recruitment plan, Agnipath, that had sparked public protests and criticism from opposition parties, and lauded the government's courage for taking a host of initiatives for the development of the country, Sarma said.
Claiming that the BJP will end family rule in Telangana and West Bengal, Amit Shah said the party will come to power in Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Odisha.
Notably, nearly 350 delegates, including members of the BJP’s top brass, attended the two-day national executive meeting in Hyderabad which began on Saturday.
