He said making Narendra Modi prime minister once again would mean "making the country safe and prosperous." He said the opposition Indian alliance has become an "Aurangzeb fan club", and cannot run the country.

Taking a dig at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, Shah said that those who go to Thailand for holidays when the mercury rises in India cannot manage the country.Shah asked, can "fake" Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray mention the freedom struggle and Hindutva ideologue V D Savarkar in his speeches. The BJP leader said, "What are you as a Shiv Sena chief, if you If you are ashamed of taking Savarkar's name, then you are running a 'fake' Shiv Sena. The real Shiv Sena is with Eknath Shinde.

Shinde rebelled against Thackeray's leadership in June 2022 and joined hands with the BJP to form the government in the state. Later the Maharashtra Assembly Speaker recognized Shinde's faction as the real Shiv Sena.Shah said, "You (Uddhav) do not get the legacy of Balasaheb (Shiv Sena founder Bal Thackeray) like this. You may be his son, but his legacy is with Narayan Rane, Eknath Shind and Raj Thackeray. You have left his legacy. While Rane left the Sena in 2005 after differences with Uddhav and remained in the Congress for a few years before joining the BJP, Raj Thackeray left the Shiv Sena in 2006 to start his own party, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena. Gave. Raj has supported BJP in the current elections.Shah also claimed that in order to get the chief ministerial post in 2019, Uddhav Thackeray fell at the feet of the NCP and Congress, who had opposed the abrogation of Article 370.

"Those who surrender to Rahul Gandhi and Sharad Pawar for power cannot protect the pride of Maharashtra," the BJP leader said. Notably, Uddhav broke the Sena's long-standing alliance with the BJP in 2019. The Union Minister alleged that Congress and Sharad Pawar kept the Ram Mandir issue pending, on the other hand, PM Modi approached the Supreme Court "Won the case" and performed the bhoomi pujan and consecration of the Ram temple within five years.

Shah said, the vote bank of Congress has now become the vote bank of Uddhav Thackeray.He said, "Uddhav should tell whether he supports triple talaq, Muslim personal law and Article 370." He stressed that after Narendra Modi wins for the third time, a uniform civil code will be implemented in the entire country. Will be implemented. Shah once again targeted Uddhav Thackeray at a rally for BJP candidate Sanjay Kak Patil in Sangli in western Maharashtra in the evening.

He said the "fake army chief" should tell whether the Popular Front of India (PFI) should be banned, the Citizenship (Amendment) Act should be implemented and whether the construction of Ram temple in Ayodhya and the ban on triple talaq should be banned. The ban is a good development.

But he will not comment because of his new vote bank, which earlier supported Congress and NCP, the Union minister said.This vote bank will not speak against Pakistan or hoist the tricolor in Kashmir." He appealed to the people of Sangli to press the EVM button in such a way that 'the current is felt in Italy', a clear reference to Congress leader Sonia Gandhi's Italian origin. There was sarcasm in form.

The 2024 election was a fight between "those who vote for jihad and those who say vote for development", Shah said, adding that it would also be between Rahu Gandhi's "Chinese guarantee" (clearly unfulfilled promises) and "Modi's Indian guarantee". There was also a fight between "Guarantee". ,

Attacking the India Bloc, Shah asked, "Who is their PM face? Can Sharad Pawar, Mamata Banerjee, Uddhav Thackeray, (Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK) Stalin become PM? A clown-like leader said everyone should get the post." will get.He said, these "corrupt leaders" cannot compete with Modi who has not been accused of even the slightest corruption.

Shah asked those present at the gathering whether they would support such leaders, Shah said Pawar, Uddhav Thackeray, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi did not attend the Ra temple consecration.

He said that before 2014, Pakistan-based terrorists had a free hand in India, but when terrorist attacks took place in Uri, Pulwama, Pakistan forgot that it was Modi in power and not Manmohan Singh. The Union Minister said, "Modi Carried out surgical strikes inside Pakistan and destroyed terrorist camps."

Shah said Sharad Pawar should explain why the number of sugar mills in Maharashtra increased from 202 to about 100, and why only three district cooperative banks are functioning on their own, while administrators have been appointed to the rest (due to irregularities). Are.Who is also the Union Cooperation Minister.
