Launching a blistering attack on the Opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), Union Home Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Amit Shah on April 11 dubbed the MVA a directionless autorickshaw comprised of fake Shiv Sena and NCP factions, and a half-dead Congress.
Addressing a public rally in Nanded, Mr. Shah, who was campaigning for incumbent MP Prataprao Chikhalikar, again targeted the Congress for playing politics over the Ram Mandir consecration ceremony.
“I can understand that the Congress actively delayed the construction of the Ram Mandir because it was scared of its vote bank. But why did not the Congress leadership go when it was invited for the Ram Temple consecration ceremony. The party even expelled those Congress members who wanted to attend the ceremony,” Mr. Shah alleged.
