Union Home Minister Amit Shah took a sharp dig at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, saying that while Gandhi carries a copy of the Constitution around, he should open it and read it. Shah accused the opposition of opposing the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) because infiltrators form a part of their vote bank.
Shah said, “Before the Bihar assembly elections, should the names of infiltrators be removed from the voter list or not? The Constitution of India does not give the right to vote to those who are not born in India. Rahul Gandhi is roaming around carrying the Constitution; he should also open it and read it… They are opposing SIR because infiltrators are their vote bank…”
Slamming RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav over the law and order situation in Bihar, he said, “I want to ask Tejashwi Yadav, his father and mother were in power for a long time. Apart from hooliganism, running gangs, kidnapping, demanding ransom, what have you done for the development of Mithilanchal?”
Shah showed confidence in the NDA government that it would secure a victory in Bihar with a majority.
The Home Minister on Friday congratulated the “devotees of Lord Ram and Janaki Mata” as he laid the foundation stone for the redevelopment of Janaki Mata temple at Punaura Dham in Sitamarhi, Bihar.
After laying the foundation of the redevelopment project, Shah said, “I congratulate the devotees of Lord Ram and Janaki Mata as the foundation stone has been laid for the redevelopment of Janaki Mata temple at Punaura Dham…”
