The BJP will end "family rule" in Telangana and West Bengal and also form governments in states where power has so far remained out of the party's reach, Home Minister Amit Shah said
The next 30-40 years will be the era of the BJP which will make India a "Vishwa Guru" (world leader), Home Minister Amit Shah said on Sunday. The BJP will end "family rule" in Telangana and West Bengal and also form governments in states where power has so far remained out of the party's reach, Mr Shah said at the BJP's national executive meeting.
He called for ending the politics of dynasty, casteism and appeasement and cited the party's win in recent elections as an endorsement of its "politics of development and performance".
Mr Shah identified southern India as the region for the BJP's next round of growth. He said the opposition had become disjointed and dispirited with Congress members fighting for democracy within their organisation.
Mr Shah also praised as "historic" the recent Supreme Court verdict dismissing a plea challenging the Special Investigation Team's (SIT) clearance 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.
