Corruption and nepotism replaced by development in 10 years, says Amit Shah

Home Minister Amit Shah on December 8 said India’s youth were now looking ahead to a golden future as corruption, nepotism and casteism had been replaced by growth and development in the last 10 years. Mr. Shah, who was speaking at the 69th national conference of Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), the students’ wing of the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS), added that no one believed Ram temple could ever come to reality in Ayodhya.

“The golden future awaits you all. If you look at the discourses of the ABVP before 10 years ago, there was only mentions of agitations. But today new policies are implemented instead of scams and scandals. Politics of performance has been established in place of dynasticism, appeasement and casteism. Under the leadership of Modi Ji, we have become the 5th largest economy from the 11th,” said Mr. Shah.

Speaking about the abrogation of Article 370, Mr. Shah said that now no one could stop anyone from hoisting the national flag in Kashmir. Most of the insurgent organisations had surrendered their arms and left-wing extremism was breathing its last.
