The Union Home minister described the opposition’s Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance as an ‘Aurangzeb fan club’. “Aghadi (Maha Vikas Aghadi) only wants to appease. We walk in the footsteps of Shivaji Maharaj and people of Aghadi are members of the Aurangzeb fan club”, he added.
He further claimed that the Aghadi government had stopped the Marathwada Water Grid scheme worth Rs 4,000 crore. “Due to this, drought-prone Marathwada was not able to get water. In 2019, our leader Devendra Fadnavis took the initiative to take this scheme forward, but it was stopped again as soon as Uddhav ji’s government came… I say that our Mahayuti government will do the work of providing water to every farm here”, he said.
Amit Shah asserted that the Mahayuti government will be formed again under the leadership of PM Modi on November 23. “Do you want to know the result of Maharashtra Assembly elections? Listen to me carefully, (Maha Vikas) Aghadi will be wiped out on November 23. On the 23rd, the Mahayuti government will be formed again under the leadership of PM Modi,” Shah said.
He further asserted that the Narendra Modi government will amend the Waqf Board law. “Waqf Board has declared that land of many villages as waqf property that includes temples, farmers’ land. We brought a bill to amend that (Waqf Act) but Rahul Gandhi, Sharad Pawar, Uddhav Thackeray opposed that”, he said.
Voting for the Maharashtra Assembly election will take place on November 20. The result will be announced on November 23. (ANI)
