Mumbai: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday challenged the opposition’s Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance saying put your full force to oppose the Waqf Amendment Bill 2024, but it’s going to be passed in the Parliament.

Jitna dum hai utna virod karlo, Waqf Amendment Bill Sansad me pass hone wala hai (Oppose as much as you want, the Waqf Amendment bill will be passed in the Parliament, said Amit Shah at rally in Mumbai’s Borivali, ahead of next week’s Maharashtra elections.

Hitting out at Congress , Amit Shah said, “ Rahul Gandhi distributed copies of Constitution with blank pages, he is indulging in petty politics.”

Taking on Sharad Pawar , the Home Minister said, “For many years there was a demand to give the Marathi language the status of a classical language. Sharad Pawar ji, you were a minister at the center for 10 years and also the Chief Minister of the state, what did you do? … Our Prime Minister Modi honoured Maharashtra by giving Marathi the status of a classical language …”

Amit Shah further said that before the end of current term at the Centre, (illegal) Bangladeshi nationals and Rohingyas will be evicted from Mumbai.

Maharashtra gave the mantra of ‘swaraj’ to the entire country. It is a land of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Maharashtra is a land of Jyotiba Phule, BR Ambedkar, Jyoti Savitribai Phule, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, and Veer Savarkar. I salute this holy land of Maharashtra, Amit Shah added.

“On November 23, Mahayuti will form the government, whereas the MVA will be wiped out. Over the last 10 years, PM Modi has not just strengthened Maharashtra but the entire country. PM Modi fulfills his promises. The day I released BJP ‘s manifesto, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge released MVA’s manifesto on the same day. Few days back, Kharge advised his leaders to only make promises that they can fulfill. This is because they failed to fulfill the promises they made in Karnataka and Himachal Pradesh ,” the Home Minister said.
