New Delhi: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday advised Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge not to tell “lies” for the sake of the Gandhi family. He warned that eventually Mallikarjun Kharge would be “sacrificed” by the Gandhi family for the poll loss after results are declared on June 4.
Amit Shah said, “Kharge ji says, if Modi comes to power, the poor will be destroyed. I want to ask Kharge ji, didn’t 25 crore poor people benefit when they were brought out of poverty? Isn’t giving ration to 80 crore poor people beneficial for the poor? Didn’t the poor benefit due to the construction of 12 crore toilets, giving of gas cylinders to our mothers, providing tap water in their homes and treating seven crore people (through health insurance)?”
“Kharge ji, you do not know that they do not care for anyone… As Congress suffers a defeat on June 4 (when results of the Lok Sabha elections will be announced), the brother-sister duo (referring to Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra) will remain safe, but the 80-year-old Kharge ji will be blamed,” Shah said.
Amit Shah made the remarks while addressing a poll rally at Katghora town in Chhattisgarh
