Amit Shah: Only BJP can help the progress of India
Lashing out at the Congress, BJP president Amit Shah on Saturday said the country had not witnessed any progress since Independence as one family held the reins for 60 years and asserted that the BJP alone could usher in development.
​Kakori (UP): Lashing out at the Congress, BJP president Amit Shah on Saturday said the country had not witnessed any progress since Independence as “one family” held the reins for 60 years and asserted that the BJP alone could usher in development.
With an eye on the Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls due next year, Shah said if the country is to progress, the development of the state is essential.
“It has been 70 years since we gained Independence. But there has been no development in the country as one family was in power for 60 years,” he said.
Shah slammed the erstwhile Congress governments for “absence of development” in the country.
“I feel sad to say that it has been 70 years since we have won freedom and for 60 years, the Congress was in saddle and the result is for everyone to see,” he said.
Shah was speaking at a Tiranga Yatra as part of ‘Yaad Karo Qurbani’ programme to commemorate the sacrifices of freedom fighters ahead of Independence Day.
Asserting that the BJP alone could usher in development in the country, he said if the SP or BSP came to power in Uttar Pradesh, they would work for the development of only one community.
“If the SP or BSP come to power they will work for the development of only one community. The BJP alone can ensure all-round development in the state. The BJP believes in ‘sab ka saath, sab ka vikas’,” Shah said at the event held on the outskirts of Lucknow.
“Without the development of Uttar Pradesh, the country cannot march ahead,” he said.
The programme was held at Kakori town which had shot into prominence due to the Kakori train robbery when some Indian revolutionaries looted the British government’s treasury from a train on August 9, 1925. He termed as unfortunate the situation in the country saying villages are without electricity, youth are jobless, agriculture fields are without irrigation facilities and poor patients are dying for want of medicines.
He said the country could not repay the debt of the martyrs who laid down their lives for freedom.
