NEW DELHI: Union home minister Amit Shah on Friday said the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) will lose the assembly election like Congress lost Haryana. The home minister’s rally also comes as Prime Minister holding rallies of his own in Maharashtra.
The union minister said that Uddhav Thackeray wants his son Aaditya Thackeray to become the chief minister, while Sharad pawar wants the same for his daughter Supriya Sule.
“If MVA comes to power in Maharashtra by mistake, Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray wants to make his son the chief minister, (Sharad) Pawar saheb wants the post for his daughter and there are a dozen leaders in the Congress who have already stitched clothes to become the CM,” said Amit Shah addressing an election rally at Shirala in Sangli district to drum up support for BJP candidates from Shirala and Islampur constituencies ahead of the November 20 assembly polls.
The former BJP president said those leaders wishing to make their sons the chief minister should focus on the welfare of people of Shirala. “The development of this region can only happen by Devendra Fadnavis, Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar’s Mahayuti under the leadership of Modiji. We want to tell you that whatever promises Modi ji makes, they are fulfilled,” he said.
At this age, NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar tells lies that businesses are moving out of Maharashtra, Amit Shah added.
Pointing out to Kharge’s advice to his party colleagues over “fiscal caution”, Amit Shah whatever promises the Congress party makes are imaginary.
Claiming that the Mahayuti alliance will emerge victorious in the upcoming state elections, Shah said, “These MVA people had purchased crackers worth crores of rupees thinking that they will win Haryana, but in most of the places, they gave their crackers to the BJP workers. In Haryana, the Congress was wiped out. Similarly, the Aghadi will be wiped out in Maharashtra as BJP will form a government.”
