AHMEDABAD: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday said it voted to office for a third term, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi will root out naxalism from the country within two years.
Addressing an election rally in support of the BJP candidate from the Ahmedabad-East Lok Sabha seat, Hasmukh Patel, Shah said: “During the last five years, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Madhya Pradesh have become free from naxalism. Naxalites still exist in some parts of Chhattisgarh. Give PM Modi a third term, and I assure you, Modiji will eliminate naxalism completely from the country in two years.”
Referring to the BJP’s manifesto for the Lok Sabha polls, Shah said the Modi government will provide free healthcare to every individual above 70 years of age under the Ayushman Bharat Yojana.
Gujarat has 26 Lok Sabha seats, and a BJP candidate has been elected unopposed from the Surat seat. Voting for the remaining 25 seats will be held in a single phase on May 7. Shah is seeking a second term from the Gandhinagar Lok Sabha seat on a BJP ticket.
