Amit Shah
told a rally in Tamil Nadu‘s Kanyakumari Saturday that
DMK
‘s opposition to
Sanatan Dharma
and Ram Temple in Ayodhya had hurt the sentiments of crores of Tamils. At another event in Rajasthan the same day, he reaffirmed BJP’s commitment to continue
reservations
.
Speaking during a road show for BJP Kanyakumari candidate Pon Radhakrishnan and Vilavancode assembly bypoll nominee V S Nandhini, Shah stressed that BJP respected everyone and aimed to take all along.
Shah claimed rampant corruption by DMK and AIADMK had hindered the development of Tamil Nadu. Shah urged the people to abandon both parties and strengthen PM Modi’s leadership by voting for BJP.
According to Shah, PM Modi has made the country secure and prosperous and elevated the pride of Tamil Nadu, Tamil language and Tamil culture across the country and the world.
In Rajasthan’s Alwar, Shah dwelt on quotas and accused Congress of spreading misconceptions that BJP wants to abolish the benefits. “PM Modi himself is the biggest supporter of reservation… Be it reservation for Dalits, tribals or backward classes, BJP supports it. We will neither end the reservation nor allow anyone to do it,” Shah said.
Campaigning for Union minister and BJP Alwar nominee Bhupender Yadav in Harsoli, the home minister labelled Congress “anti-OBC”, accusing it of putting key reports related to reservation in cold storage.
