Khairagarh. Union Home Minister Amit Shah addressed a public meeting in Chhattisgarh on Sunday. During this, remembering the creator of the Constitution Dr. Baba Saheb Bhim Rao Ambedkar on Ambedkar Jayanti, he said that till the time his party Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is in politics, it will not allow reservation to end.
Addressing an election meeting in Khairagarh under Rajnandgaon Lok Sabha constituency, Shah said that Naxalism will be ended in Chhattisgarh in three years if the BJP government is formed once again under the leadership of Narendra Modi at the Centre.
Shah said that today (Sunday) is Ambedkar Jayanti and the whole country is remembering Ambedkar ji, the creator of our Constitution. His contribution to the Dalits, backward classes, tribals and poor of this country can never be forgotten.
Shah said, ‘I saw on TV that Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge had said that Modi will change the Constitution and their other leaders say that Modi will end reservation. I have come to tell the people of Chhattisgarh that as long as BJP is in politics, nothing will be allowed to happen to reservation. Be it reservation for tribals, Dalits or backward communities, BJP will not end the reservation and if Congress wants to end it, it will not allow it to end either. These people do business of lies.
Promising to end Naxalism in the state within three years, the Union Minister said, ‘Prime Minister Modi worked to take Chhattisgarh forward in his two terms. If Modi becomes Prime Minister for the third time, we will work to make Chhattisgarh a state free from Naxalism. The fight against Naxalism had slowed down during the Congress government. After the formation of the BJP government in the state, the pair of Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister intensified the fight against Naxalism.
The Home Minister said, ‘Work has been done to kill more than 54 Naxalites in the state. More than 150 people were arrested and more than 250 Naxalites surrendered. Within 10 years, Prime Minister Modi has eliminated Naxalism from the entire country.
Shah also targeted former Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel over the alleged Mahadev App online betting scandal that took place during the previous state government and said, ‘Many scams took place in this country but no scam took place in the name of God. There was 2G scam, Commonwealth scam, submarine scam, but no one’s name was linked to God. Bhupesh Baghel did not even leave Mahadev and did Mahadev app scam of Rs 508 crore.
