GUWAHATI: Union Home Minister Amit Shah stated that the BJP considers religiously based reservations to be “unconstitutional”. Amit Shah promised to abolish the reservation “imposed based on religion” in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh if the BJP wins power on Tuesday during a news conference in Guwahati, Assam. Additionally, he attacked Congress for “spreading lies” in order to cause “confusion”. “Reservation based on religion, according to the BJP, is unconstitutional. Speaking to reporters, Amit Shah declared, “Whenever we take over in states like Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, we will guarantee justice to SCs, STs, and OBCs by eliminating the reservations imposed based on religion.” Congress disseminates false information in an effort to confuse the people. To be clear, the BJP will always act as its guardian and supports reservations for SCs, STs, and OBCs. PM Narendra Modi has made reference to this very point numerous times in his talks. The Congress party is the only political party that has even partially affected the reservations of SCs, STs, and OBCs, the speaker continued. Shah went on to criticise Congress for “reducing” the OBC reservation by granting reservations to Muslims “without any survey”.First, they cut the OBC reservation because they granted reservation to Muslims in the combined Andhra Pradesh.Congress disseminates false information in an effort to confuse the people.

A notable Congress Party leader is being prosecuted for a crime today. Their dissatisfaction and displeasure are shown in this action.Regarding the issue, he also criticised Rahul Gandhi, the leader of the Congress, saying that he was “trying to take the level of politics to a new low.” “Rahul Gandhi has been trying to lower the bar for politics ever since he became the Congress’s leader. In my opinion, any significant political party in India should never try to win over the public by disseminating false videos,” Shah stated. Regarding the ‘Matr Shakti’ case involving Janata Dal (Secular) MP Prajwal Revanna, Shah stated that the BJP supports the ‘Matr Shakti’ and criticised the Congress government that is in power in Karnataka for allegedly holding up proceedings. As an NDA candidate, Revanna is running against Hassan for a second term in Karnataka, where JD(S) is an ally of the BJP. The current MP is also the grandson of HD Deve Gowda, the leader of JD(S) and a previous prime minister. The BJP is unambiguous in its stance that it supports the nation’s “Matr Shakti.” Who is calling for action, and whose government is it, Congress and Priyanka ji? The Congress Party is in power. Why haven’t they acted up till now? Since this is a matter of state law and order, the state government must handle it; we are not required to take action,” he stated. “We back the probe, and JD(S), our partner, has also said that it would take legal action. Their core group is meeting today, and action will be taken,” Shah continued. In addition, Shah claimed that he was “getting good response” in South India and voiced optimism about the BJP gaining 400 seats. “As everyone is aware, the first two stages of the seven-phase election have concluded. According to our party’s own evaluation, the BJP and its partners have together surpassed 100 after these two phases. With the blessings and support of the people, we are confidently advancing towards our goal of surpassing 400,” he stated. “All across the nation, especially in the South Indian states of Karnataka, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu, the BJP is receiving a significant deal of support. We think we will definitely accomplish the “400 Paar” accomplishment because of the fantastic response we have received! In every state, including Assam, Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Uttarakhand, etc., we are experiencing tremendous electoral success. In South India, the BJP is also receiving excellent feedback in addition to this, Shah continued. “I don’t know whether they will contest elections or not but the amount of confusion shows that they lack self-confidence,” Shah remarked in response to a question regarding Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra’s candidatures from Amethi and Raebareli. The reality in Uttar Pradesh is that people have fled from their customary seats.”
