"Who will be INDIA bloc's Prime Minister?" Amit Shah at Karnal

"Who will be their Prime Minister if they cross the majority mark? Will it be Sharad Pawar, Mamata Banerjee, Stalin, Arvind Kejriwal, Uddhav Thackeray? Will it be Rahul Gandhi? These people neither have leaders nor policies," Shah said while campaigning at Haryana's Karnal on Monday.

Hitting out at the Congress for allegedly suggesting that the bloc might have Prime Ministers in turns over a period of five years, Shah said that it is not about running a shop but governing a country of 130 crore people.

"When a reporter asked him who will be their Prime Minister he said they will have Prime Minister in turns for one year over a term of five years. Rahul baba does not understand that this is not some shop but a country of 130 crore people," Shah said.

Referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and listing out the priorities for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Shah said, "Here a Prime Minister is needed who can give a befitting reply to Pakistan, who can keep the country secure during Covid, who can bring Pak-occupied Kashmir back to India, who can abolish triple talaq, eradicate Naxalism, bring in UCC, who can make India the top country in the world."

The senior BJP leader said that people in the country trust Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership and believe that only he can pave the way for India to be a developed nation.

"Today 'Modi Modi' slogans have become people's trust in the country's development. Everyone knows that only PM Modi can keep the country completely developed and independent, secure and enriched, educated and equipped with technology," Shah said.

Pointing out that the Prime Minister has a "special attachment" towards Haryana, Shah said, "The people of Haryana have a right to PM Modi. I have been working with PM Modi for so many years. When he was in Gujarat, he used to worry about Haryana and now when he is here (in Delhi), he keeps talking about Haryana. Modi ji has a special attachment and love for Haryana."

In an attack on the Congress leadership in Haryana, Shah said, "Congress party had sent Rs 41,000 crore in 10 years for the development of Haryana. (Bhupinder) Hooda, please answer. PM Modi has given Rs 2, 70,000 crore for the development of Haryana."

Voting on all 10 seats in Haryana will be held on May 25. The counting of votes will be done on June 4. In 2019, the BJP swept the state by winning all 10 seats. (ANI)
