Union Home Minister Amit Shah held a roadshow in Belagavi’s Chikkodi area on Saturday.
Amit Shah was seated in a specially designed vehicle, and he greeted the people who had gathered there. During the roadshow, BJP supporters and party workers were queued up throughout the road from where the cavalcade was passing.
The Home Minister also launched an attack on the Congress party over the ‘4 percent Muslim reservation’ issue and urged the people to vote for a double-engine government in the state if they want to
“BJP had removed 4 percent Muslim reservation and increased reservation for Lingayats, SC, and ST communities.” The Congress Party says that if they come to power, they will bring back a 6 percent reservation for Muslims. This will decrease reservation among Lingayats and SC; if Karnataka doesn’t want this, they must vote for the BJP government,” he said.
Earlier in the day, during an election rally in Belagavi, Amit Shah said that PM Modi has fulfilled the dreams of Lord Ram devotees by constructing the Ram Temple in Ayodhya.
“BJP has worked for the farmers here. We have given several benefits to the farmers. The Congress insulted Savarkar. But the BJP developed the Marathas and respected them. PM Modi fulfilled the dreams of Lord Ram devotees by constructing the Ram temple in Ayodhya”.
The final leg of campaigning for the May 10 Assembly elections has intensified in the state. Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi also held a roadshow in Bengaluru. He is scheduled to hold two mega-road shows and four public meetings this weekend, as per party sources.
