 "Rahul Gandhi has a rule — lie, lie loudly, lie repeatedly. He is following it: Amit Shah to Network18")
Hitting out at Rahul Gandhi over his allegations that the BJP wants to change the Constitution and end reservations, Union Home Minister Amit Shah claimed that the senior Congress leader lies repeatedly on various issues.
“We have been in majority for ten years. The people of this country have given Narendra Modi the power to change the Constitution for ten years,” Amit Shah told Network18’s MD and Group Editor-in-Chief, Rahul Joshi in an exclusive interview.
“What have we done in these ten years? We never tried to end reservation. We used our majority to abrogate Article 370, to end triple talaq, to bring UCC, to change the laws of the British, to bring peace in Kashmir. We have had the right for ten years. Rahul Gandhi has a rule — lie, lie loudly, lie repeatedly. And he is following that rule,” Shah said. “After Rahul Gandhi took over the command of Congress’s politics, he has been consistently bringing down the level of politics in an unprecedented way. You cannot debate in Parliament, they create chaos, boycott, not let people speak, not participate in debates, and then go out and tell the world that injustice is being done to them. What do they think about the people of this country? That the public does not know all this? The people of the country know all these things very well. There should be healthy debate in a democracy.”
Accusing the Congress of sacrificing national interest for the sake of electoral success, Shah warned Rahul Gandhi that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to win a third consecutive term in office.
“The people of the country have to decide whether they want a person who will protect the nation or those who will put the country at risk for votes. Do they want a person who will develop the economy of the country or those who will sink the economy? The people of the country have decided Rahulji, the people of the country are with Narendra Modi ji, and the party which is with Modi ji will get votes. This election is to make Narendra Modi ji the Prime Minister,” the senior BJP leader said.
Pointing out that terrorism and Naxalism has been a bane for democracy and development in the country over the past several decades, the Union home minister asserted that both these issues will be eliminated in the near future if the BJP-led NDA government secures a third consecutive term at the Centre.

Narendra Modiji has got us almost 100% freedom from terrorism in ten years and you could say Naxalism has been eliminated by around 95%. Today Naxalism has been completely finished off in the seven states of Bihar, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Maharashtra. It remains only in four districts of Chhattisgarh, where the Bharatiya Janata Party has now formed the government, and just in the past three months, almost 100 Naxalites have been killed,” Shah stated. “I am fully confident that after Modiji becomes the Prime Minister for the third time, the country will get rid of Naxalism within one or two years.”
