“Rahul Gandhi backed urban Maoist”: Amit Shah

Hyderabad: BJP President Amit Shah alleged that Congress President Rahul Gandhi backed urban Maoists when the Maharashtra government arrested them. “The Maoists have only two options. Either join the mainstream or be ready to go to jail,” he added.

He said this while addressing public meeting in Nirmal, Telangana.

The BJP president, who also addressed rallies in Parkala, Narayankhed and Dubbaka, said that only his party could provide a government in Telangana that would not be dependent on the Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) and its President Asaduddin Owaisi.

“Only the BJP can take on Majlis and Owaisi,” he said.

Shah said the TRS government had also stopped celebrating Telangana Liberation Day, as it was scared of Owaisi. He said if voted to power, the BJP would celebrate the day on a grand scale in every village.

Recalling that it was in Nirmal that MIM leader Akbaruddin Owaisi had delivered a speech, insulting Hindu gods and goddesses, Shah said the TRS government failed to take action against him.

He said the December 7 election would decide the future of the state. “You have given opportunity to all other parties to form government. Give a chance to us, we will turn Telangana into a model state.”

Shah said the TRS chief had imposed the burden of an additional election by going in for early polls to the state Assembly to promote his son and daughter.

He claimed that the TRS chief Rao was afraid of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s impact if the Assembly polls were to be held along with the Lok Sabha elections in 2019.

According to the report published in DC, Mr. Amit Shah asked Mr. KCR, whether Dalit will be made TS CM if TRS wins the election.
