What's the story

Last Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi sounded the bugle for BJP's campaign for Delhi elections with his speech at Ramlila ground. And today Union Home Minister Amit Shah hopped on the bandwagon. Pitching for a BJP sarkar at the national capital, Shah urged voters to teach "tukde-tukde" gang a lesson while speaking about the anti-CAA protests. Here's more on what he said.

What he said

Shah blamed Congress for violence in Delhi

Shah, who steered passage of Citizenship Amendment Bill in both Houses earlier this month, trained guns at rival Congress. He said politicians were responsible for spoiling Delhi's peace. "I want to say that it's time to punish the tukde-tukde gang led by Congress. They are to be blamed for the violence in the city," he said. Delhi will go to polls early next year.

Statement

Shah asked why Opposition leaders were silent inside Parliament

Further, Shah also asked where were the Opposition leaders when the Bill was discussed in the Parliament. He claimed they kept dilly-dallying. For the uninitiated, the new law on citizenship sparked widespread protests in Delhi. Jamia Millia Islamia University became the epicenter of tensions after students took to streets. Delhi Police, which comes under Shah, resorted to tear gas to control them.

Riots

He also mentioned anti-Sikh riots, said BJP delivered justice

Moving from anti-CAA protests, Shah also slammed Congress for the anti-Sikh riots of 1984, which sparked after former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's assassination. "Congress could never deliver justice to the victims. The moment the Modi government came to power, an SIT was formed. Today the rioters are in jail," he said at the event organized by Delhi Development Authority (DDA).

Separately, Shah claimed AAP didn't fulfill several promises

Besides Congress, Shah also slammed Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which governs the state currently. "Arvind Kejriwal had promised he would not take a bungalow or a car and several other such things, but he took them all. His government has not completed 80 percent of the welfare work that he promised in 2015," the Home Minister said. Shortly, AAP responded to his allegations.
