HYDERABAD, 3 JULY: Senior BJP leader and Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday said that the next 30 years will be the era of BJP and India will become a ‘Vishwa guru’ (world leader). He also asserted that the party will end “family rule” in Telangana and West Bengal and also form governments in states where power has so far remained out of its reach.
Shah was speaking after presenting the political resolution on the second day of the BJP National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting here.
The resolution was seconded by the Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai and his Assam counterpart Himanta Biswa Sarma.
The resolution talked about making the country free from politics of casteism, family rule and appeasement to take India into a new era of empowerment and development.
He identified southern India as the region for its next round of growth, and said the opposition had become disjointed and dispirited with members of the Congress fighting for democracy within their organisation as its ruling family clung to its position.
He also hailed as “historic” the recent Supreme Court verdict dismissing a plea challenging the Special Investigation Team’s (SIT) clean chit to 64 people, including then chief minister Narendra Modi, in the 2002 Gujarat riots case. The court had also come down hard on the petitioners. The apex court has exposed opposition parties, a section of media and some NGOs for their conspiracy to defame Modi, he said.
“Some journalists, NGOs and political parties driven by their own ideologies and for their own agenda conspire to defame Prime Minister Modi. But Prime Minister Modi kept faith in the Constitution and faced SIT in Gujarat riots case without speaking a single word for 20 years unlike some leaders who enact political drama and spread anarchy when faced by investigating agencies on corruption charges,” Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said quoting Home Minister Shah.
“The Home Minister said that the recent electoral victory of BJP is victory of politics of performance and development, and it also ended politics of caste, dynasty and regionalism.
“Home Minister also spoke about opposition parties and said that today the opposition is divided. Congress members are fighting to establish democracy within the party.
“The Union Minister mentioned GST, air and surgical strike, triple talaq, abrogation of Article 370, CAA, vaccine, new recruitment scheme for armed forces ‘Agnipath’ and other government welfare schemes.”
Claiming that the BJP will end family rule in states like Telangana and West Bengal, Shah said it will come to power in Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Odisha, states which have so far remained out of the saffron party’s power march since it formed government at the Centre in 2014.
There was a “collective hope and finding” at the meeting that the BJP’s next round of growth will come from south India, Sarma added.
“The Congress has been affected by ‘Modi phobia’ and opposes every decision of the Modi government taken in national interest,” he said.
Lauding the prime minister’s leadership, the home minister said he is now considered as “one of the top leaders” in the world and is sought out for his views on a host of issues ranging from environment to terrorism.
Referring to the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance’s presidential candidate Droupadi Murmu, he said the saffron party under the Modi government chose a Dalit, incumbent President Ram Nath Kovind, and now a Scheduled Tribe during the two elections for the top constitutional post and asked party members to publicise the story of Murmu’s life and struggle.
