Haryana Assembly polls: Amit Shah says Rahul Gandhi’s poll guarantees in Himachal, Karnataka came a cropper

Union Home Minister Amit Shah criticizes Congress, promises development in Haryana, attacks Rahul Gandhi's unfulfilled election guarantees.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday (September 29, 2024) kept up the attack on the Congress in poll-bound Haryana, alleging Rahul Gandhi's election guarantees have come a cropper in States such as Himachal Pradesh and Karnataka where the grand old party is in power.

Addressing an election rally in Gurugram's Badshahpur, he said at the time of polls, the Congress makes tall promises.

But they are not able to fulfil their poll promises in Himachal, Karnataka and Telangana, Shah said, adding "Rahul Gandhi's guarantees have come a cropper".

On the other hand, the BJP does not make any promise which it cannot fulfil, the Union Home Minister.

“Rahul Baba and company cannot undertake development and it is the double-engine government that will ensure Haryana’s development,” he said. “We will secure the country’s border, we will protect reservation and never allow Article 370 to return.”

Referring to the Waqf Bill, Mr. Shah told the rally, “You have a problem with the current legislation on Waqf Board... we will amend it in the Winter Session of Parliament.”

Several opposition leaders last month alleged the BJP-led NDA government’s Waqf Amendment Bill aims at creating a divide in the society and asserted that they would strongly oppose it.
