Cong-AAP liars, don’t make mistake of electing ‘urban Naxals’, Shah tells Bharuch voters

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday said people must not make the mistake of voting for “urban Naxals” and asserted that the Congress and Aam Aadmi Party were “anti-tribals”.

 

Addressing a rally in Gujarat’s Bharuch Lok Sabha constituency, where the AAP has fielded a candidate as part of its alliance with the Congress, he urged the people to vote for BJP’s sitting MP Mansukh Vasava.

 

“You will never get a public representative like Manuskh Vasava. If you make a mistake, then some urban Naxal will take his place (as MP) and destroy this tribal region,” Shah said.

 

Mansukh Vasava is pitted against the AAP’s sitting MLA Chaitar Vasava in Bharuch, which is part of south Gujarat that has a sizable presence of tribals.

 

“The Congress and AAP have come together to loot people. I have no hesitation in saying the Congress is an anti-tribal party and AAP will exploit tribals after getting their votes,” Shah asserted

 

The Congress and AAP are spreading rumours that the BJP will change the Constitution and scrap reservations after it wins 400 Lok Sabha seats, he said, adding the grand old party is an “expert” and the Arvind Kejriwal-led party a “sardar” (chieftain) in spreading lies.
