Hyderabad: Union Minister Nitin Gadkari on Tuesday alleged that the opposition parties who talk about unity are united only in opposing BJP and he asked them to debate on the basis of manifesto and performance.
Talking at a meeting with BJP workers, Gadkari asked the opposition parties to discuss about the work being done by the BJP for the people. He alleged they were creating fear in the minds of Muslim minorities against the BJP-led NDA government.
“What work we are going to do (for people), what work you are going to do, what we have done, what you have done, the history of 70 years… is in front us. Why you don’t come forward? Our programme is to work for the welfare of village, poor and worker and farmer. Definitely discuss that,” he said.
Gadkari slammed the opposition parties and asked how can a khichdi government comprising those lacking mutual understanding ensure the development of the country.
He also expressed confidence that based on the performance and various schemes and initiatives of the NDA government, the BJP would be re-elected.
The senior BJP leader alleged that BJP’s rivals, including the Congress, are creating a fear in the minds of Muslim minorities against the BJP-led NDA government instead of discussing the government’s performance.
“That’s why, our rivals are not discussing our performance, programmes, the work of our government and implementation. Their capital is fear. They are creating fear in the minds of Muslims. This government of Modiji, BJP will… and send to Pakistan, choose Congress to stay safe,” he stated.
He also said the BJP-led NDA government gave a corruption-free rule, without discriminating among states on political considerations. The party worked for the welfare of people without the narrow considerations of caste, creed or religion, he added.
He expressed confidence that BJP can achieve a major victory in Telangana as well if the party’s activists can convince people about the good work of the NDA government.
