Priyanka and Rahul Gandhi Mislead People to Spread Violence: Amit Shah

A senior BJP leader and Home Minister of India Amit Shah today blamed Congress leaders Priyanka Gandhi and her brother Rahul Gandhi for inciting riots in the country.

Speaking at a public rally in New Delhi, Amit Shah said that both these Congress leaders and Delhi’s chief minister Arvind Kejriwal are misleading people about the new citizenship laws in order to spread violence.

Currently, hundreds of thousands of people in India are protesting against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), National Population Register (NPR), and National Register of Citizens (NRC) announced by PM Narendra Modi and Amit Shah. Protesters demand that the government should immediately revoke its decisions related to CAA, NPR, and NRC.

अभी-अभी प्रधानमंत्री जी CAA को लेकर आएं। CAA को कैबिनेट ने मंजूरी दी लोकसभा ने पारित किया, लेकिन केजरीवाल, राहुल गांधी और प्रियंका वाड्रा ने विशेषकर जनता का गुमराह किया और दंगे करवाने का काम किया है: श्री @AmitShah #DelhiWithBJP pic.twitter.com/sJe6I10KNy

Shah stressed that despite protests, the Modi government will impose the citizenship laws across the country. His remarks hold significance in view of the upcoming Assembly election in Delhi.

Shah claimed that his party BJP will win Delhi election and form the government after the election which is expected to take place in February 2020. Congress and Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) are the other two major parties in the fray.
