Union Home Minister Amit Shah, the BJP used the complete majority it received from voters in the 2014 and 2019 elections to remove Article 370, erect Ram Mandir, enact Citizens’ Assembly Act, and grant women 33% of the seats in Lok Sabha and state assemblies.

Addressing the Vijay Sankalp Mahasammelan in Kota, Rajasthan today, Amit Shah said, “You gave us full majority in 2014 and 2019, we used the majority to abolish 370, build the temple at Shri Ram Janmabhoomi, implement CAA and give 33% reservation to women in Lok Sabha and Assemblies.”

“If you had voted for Congress in 2019, Kota would have become the house of PFI. You voted for PM Modi and he ended PFI and put them behind bars. They say that they will lift the ban on PFI. Congress is an anti-development party. For five years there was Gehlot-government but they did not let the Eastern Rajasthan Canal project move ahead for five years. After the Bhajanlal Sharma government came to power, within three months we signed the agreement for the Eastern Rajasthan Canal project,” Shah added.

The Home Minister further attacked Congress, claiming that after the first round of voting ended on Friday, Congress had lost all of its seats.

“When we talk about crossing 400, Congress gets stomach ache.They are spreading lies that if BJP gets 400 seats then they will end the reservation. Modi ji gave Rs 20 thousand crore to 87 lakh farmers in Rajasthan as Kisan Samman Nidhi. Made 3 lakh lakhpati didi. Tap water was supplied to the homes of 51 lakh poor people. 2 crore people were given the benefit of Ayushman Bharat scheme. Work was done to build toilets in the houses of 86 lakh poor people. Congress is an anti-development party,” Amit Shah said further.

On April 26, Rajasthan’s remaining 13 seats will be up for election in the second phase.

Accordingly, the remaining phases will take place on May 7, May 13, May 20, May 25, and June 1.

BJP won 24 of the 25 seats in parliament in 2019; Hanuman Beniwal, the candidate for the Rashtriya Loktrantrik Party, won the one seat that remained vacant.
