Amit Shah Draws Parallels On Scams To Take A Swipe At Congress

"The double engine government has scripted history in development in every sector," Amit Shah said.

Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday said the BJP, if voted to power in Himachal Pradesh, will soon roll out the Uniform Civil Code as he made light of "10 guarantees" promised by rival Congress, saying people trust in the guarantees of those with reputation while the opposition party has none.

At a poll rally in Kangra district on the last day of campaigning, Shah infused his speech with planks of development and Hindutva, noting that it was on this day that Maratha king Shivaji had killed Afzal Khan in 1659 and hoisted saffron flag.

Targeting the Congress, he said it is difficult to count the number of scams under its rule while it is difficult to find any scam since the BJP came to power at the Centre in 2014.

He accused the Congress of involvement in scams worth Rs 12 lakh crore in its 10 years of reign at the Centre between 2004-14 and said people of Himachal Pradesh will not have any trust in the guarantees offered by a party like this.
