One teenager dead, two critical in bomb blast ahead of Abhishek Banerjee's rally in Hoogly
Union Minister Amit Shah accused the Congress of neglecting responses to terror attacks by Pakistan during its tenure, contrasting it with the proactive stance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government. Speaking at a rally in Maharashtra's Akola, Shah asserted that while Congress engaged in vote bank politics, Modi's government swiftly launched surgical and air strikes following attacks in Uri and Pulwama.
"When Sonia-Manmohan Singh's government was in power, everyday Pakistan used to carry out attacks. But, due to vote bank politics, Congress did nothing," Amit Shah said.
However during PM Modi's governance terrorism is finished, claimed Shah.
"When the BJP government was formed and the Pulwama Uri attacks took place, within 10 days, PM Modi carried out surgical and air strikes and finished off the terrorists. PM Modi eliminated naxalism from Maharashtra," he added.
Amit Shah also claimed that the Congress "pampered" Article 370 like an illegitimate child.
