Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, (UNI) Union Home Minister and senior BJP leader Amit Shah on Tuesday appealed people of Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar to throw out AIMIM from here and elect a Mahayuti candidate to strengthen hands of Narendra Modi to become prime minister for third consecutive time.
Addressing a public rally here, he said, “Former Union Home minister Sardar Vallabbhai Patel freed Marathwada region from the clutches of Nizam in 1948. Now you should throw out AIMIM from here.”
Targeting the opposition leaders of INDIA bloc, he accused them of being selfish and said that they were working to set up their children in politics but not for the country.
Continuing his attack further, he said that they are opposing several decisions taken by the Modi government including Article 370, triple talaq, Ram temple, amendment of new laws to finish terrorism and Naxalism.

He also highlighted a number of welfare schemes undertaken by the Modi government in past 10 years and claimed that the Modi government has done a lot of work compared to the previous governments.
On Modi’s popularity, Shah said that the Prime Minister has been felicitated by the heads of around 15 foreign countries with those countries’ highest awards and remarked that this is not felicitation of Modi but of 130 crore countrymen.
