Ahead of the voting for the seventh and last phase, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that two camps have been formed in the ongoing India General Elections 2024 and called on the people to decide which of the two should be given the charge of running the country, reported news agency ANI.
Addressing a public rally in Sonbhadra district on Wednesday, Amit Shah said, "India General Elections 2024 are going on across the country. Two camps have been formed. On one side, there is (Prime Minister) Narendra Modiji. On the other side, there is Rahul Baba (Gandhi) and Akhilesh (Yadav), referring to them as Shehzadai (Prince)," reported ANI.
"The people here have to decide which of the two should be given the responsibility of governing the country. On one side, Congress was involved in scams worth Rs 12 lakh crore. On the other hand, there is BJP and Apna Dal, whose leader Narendra Modi has never faced an allegation of even 25 paise," Shah said, reported ANI.
Amit Shah added, "Narendra Modiji, after providing houses, electricity, toilets, LPG gas cylinders, 5 kilograms of free food grains, and medicines worth Rs 5 lakh to 60 crore poor people, is contesting the election to seek your blessings. As long as Narendra Modi had not become the Prime Minister of the country, there was no one to look after the 60 crore poor people."
