Amit Shah Criticizes Rahul Gandhi Over Army Remarks, Focuses on Infiltrators in Bihar
India's Home Minister, Amit Shah, held rallies in Bihar and spoke strongly against Rahul Gandhi, a leader from the opposition Congress party.
Shah said Gandhi should feel bad for asking about the caste and religion of soldiers in the army, stating that the army should be treated equally.
Shah also accused Gandhi's party and their ally, the RJD party, of wanting to let people who illegally entered the country stay and take jobs.
He promised that the current government would build new things like roads and temples in Bihar if they win.
Shah also recalled a time when the RJD party was in power, describing it as a period of lawlessness and violence.
He contrasted this with the promises of development and security that his party offers.
Amit Shah criticized Rahul Gandhi for asking about the caste and religion of Army jawans, calling it shameful.
Shah accused illegal Bangladeshi immigrants of taking jobs and posing security threats, vowing to make Bihar 'infiltrator-free'.
He alleged that the RJD party, allied with Congress, is responsible for past 'jungle raj', massacres, and rapes.
Shah promised development projects in Bihar, including new infrastructure, revival of sugar mills, and renovation of temples, if the NDA is re-elected.
He criticized Congress for allying with the RJD, recalling past opposition to the Emergency and corruption during Indira Gandhi's rule.
