Modi has spent Rs 1 lakh crore on Delhi: Amit Shah
New Delhi: BJP President Amit Shah on Wednesday addressed Delhiites in a rally at Vasant Kunj, launching scathing attacks at the opposition and coming out with praises for Narendra Modi in the same breath. The party supremo claimed that Modi had spent Rs 1 lakh crore on Delhi in the last five years and that whatever has been left wanting is only because of Delhi government's constant need to put the BJP down.
Picking on the all so familiar party lines of praising "development works" undertaken during Modi's regime as Prime Minister, Shah said that the BJP government has worked for electrification, Delhi Jal Board, and the Poorvanchali population without asking for credit.
He said, "The BJP government under Modi has built 200 Chatt Ghats in Delhi for our Poorvanchali brothers and sisters."
Shah went on to say that works on several expressways, including the Delhi-Meerut Highway and Delhi-Mumbai highway, has only been possible because of the strong leadership that Modi provided.
Making tall claims, Shah credited Modi for bringing women's reservation in Delhi Police, spending Rs 11,800 crore on Delhi Metro works, and even spending Rs 200 crore for upgrading GTB Hospital. "What our government has done for Delhi in the last five years, the Congress could not achieve in 55 years," Shah said.
The saffron party's head also lambasted AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal for trying to ally with Congress in the Capital city. He said that Kejriwal had made serious allegations about corruption in the Sheila Dikshit government and then tried to ally with her party. "I want to ask Kejriwal how many cases he has pursued against Dikshit and members of her government," Shah said.
Moreover, Shah went to cite a report from an unnamed NGO, that claimed that AAP has managed to fulfill only three of their 70 promises made in 2015. Meanwhile, Rajnath Singh addressed another rally in Shastri Park, in an attempt to rally support for the BJP and Modi.
He claimed that the Central government under Modi's leadership has improved the economic condition of more than 7 crore families. In addition, the party candidates went about their schedule appealing for the masses to vote for them if they wanted Modi's strong leadership to lead the nation.
