In Haryana, Amit Shah says every illegal migrant will be evicted before next Lok Sabha polls

Union Home Minister Amit Shah Wednesday said every illegal migrant in the country will be sent home before the next parliamentary elections as he invoked the NRC, Article 370 and the Rafale purchase during assembly poll rallies in Haryana.

The BJP president tore into the Congress, accusing its leaders of seeing the shastra puja performed by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on India’s first Rafale fighter jet as a farce. “For the opposition, it was a ‘tamasha’. It is not their fault. They know more about Italian culture and have less information about Indian culture,” the BJP president said in Loharu.

Campaigning in the state ahead of the October 21 assembly polls, he also accused the Congress of being concerned over the interests of “just one family”, a reference to the Gandhis. He said the Congress and other dynasty-based parties are eating into democracy “like termites”.
