Agency(New Delhi): Senior BJP leader Amit Shah set a confident tone for the BJP’s ambitious ‘400-plus’ seats target in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, emphasizing a clear distinction between the work ethics and leadership styles of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. Speaking in Bengaluru, Shah highlighted Modi’s dedication to his duties, contrasting it with Gandhi’s tendency to travel abroad, especially during the summer.
Shah criticized the Congress-led INDIA alliance as a coalition of dynasts and corrupt individuals, asserting there’s no competition between the BJP-led NDA and the opposition bloc. The Union Home Minister accused the opposition of being deeply entrenched in corruption and scams, portraying the BJP and NDA under Modi’s stewardship as the preferable choice for governance.
In Karnataka, Shah expressed his belief that the BJP would secure all 28 Lok Sabha seats, attributing this anticipated success to Modi’s corruption-free governance and transparent administration over the past 23 years. He contrasted this record with the alleged Rs 12 lakh crore scams during the Congress’s UPA rule, underlining the choice facing the electorate between Modi’s integrity and Congress’s history of corruption.
Shah also touched upon Modi’s unwavering commitment to his role, noting his unparalleled record of service without taking a single day off, in stark contrast to Gandhi’s frequent trips abroad. This dedication, according to Shah, solidifies Modi’s standing with the Indian populace, uniting them in support of his continued leadership.
The event saw the presence of prominent BJP figures, including veteran leader B.S. Yediyurappa, illustrating the party’s united front in Karnataka. Shah’s speech not only served as a rallying call for BJP workers but also as a strategic move to delineate the ideological and ethical divides between the BJP and its opponents, setting the stage for a highly contested election.
Shah’s remarks underscore the BJP’s strategy of leveraging Modi’s image as a diligent and incorruptible leader against the perceived vulnerabilities of the Congress and its allies, especially in terms of governance and corruption. As the political landscape heats up ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, Shah’s confident projection aims to galvanize BJP supporters and sway undecided voters by emphasizing the stark contrasts in leadership and vision between the ruling party and the opposition.
