Union Home Minister Amit Shah continued his verbal assault on the Congress party, urging voters to elect a government committed to fulfilling promises and prioritizing national security, prosperity, and the welfare of the underprivileged.
Shah alleged that the party's inclination towards appeasement politics was evident once again.
He said that the BJP's popularity surged further after the release of the Congress manifesto, attributing it to what he described as the Congress's persistent adherence to outdated practices.
"Congress's manifesto reiterates its long-standing practice of appeasement politics. Old habits die hard," Shah asserted, highlighting a particular concern regarding the Congress's stance on personal laws.
He questioned the feasibility and implications of implementing personal laws based on religious doctrines in a secular nation governed by a constitution that upholds the principle of secularism.
Shah contrasted the Congress's approach with the BJP's manifesto, which unequivocally advocates for a Uniform Civil Code (UCC).
He reaffirmed the BJP's commitment to implementing the UCC, citing the party's proactive measures such as the abolition of Triple Talaq as evidence of its dedication to this cause.
"Rahul Gandhi's advocacy for personal laws is tantamount to divisive politics, which undermines the unity of the nation. Personal laws cannot supersede the laws of the land," Shah said.
