Rajasthan Assembly Elections 2018: Amit Shah slams Rahul Gandhi over concern for 'intruders'
Says Cong considers them as vote bank and not a threat to national security
Slamming the Congress for creating turmoil and commotion over National Register of Citizens (NRC) and identification of intruders in Assam, BJP national president Amit Shah on Monday called upon the people to vote for the BJP to ensure safety and security of the nation.
Speaking at an election rally in poll-bound Rajasthan, he said that if Modi government is elected to power in 2019, each and every intruders from Kashmir to Kanyakumari would be identified and deported. Shah also slammed Gandhi and the Congress for their growing restlessness for the 40 lakh intruders the BJP government had identified after assuming power in Assam.
About 40 lakh people were left out in the final draft of the NRC in Assam.
'Are they (intruders) your (Rahul's and Congress') cousin and that's why you are worrying where they would go, what they would eat?' Shah asked and alleged Congress perceived its vote bank in intruders as they (Rahul's and Congress') don't worry about the safety and security of the nation.
Talking about Congress national president Rahul Gandhi's comments on surgical strike, Shah said that martyrdom and sacrifices of the soldiers, pain and plight of their families was not visible to "Rahul Baba" through his "Italian goggles".
Shah mocked Rahul for raising question over Vijay Mallya and Nirav Modi fleeing the country and said it was the Narendra Modi government that brought such stern and strict rules and regulations that people like Mallya and Nirav Modi had to leave the country. He added, the Congress, during its 10 years of reign, gave away loans to the tune of Rs 52 lakh crore through banks that eventually under the Congress government's protection turned into Non-Performing Asset (NPA).
"They (Mallya and Nirav Modi) did not flee during their (Congress) reign because they (Congress) had their share with them (Mallya and Nirav Modi)," Shah said adding, "Chor chor mosere bhai (All thieves are cousins)."
