Amit Shah, Union Home Minister, used the occasion of Uttarakhand's Foundation Day to launch attacks on the Congress and Samajwadi Party, warning them against destabilising the state.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah addressed a gathering in Uttarakhand on the state's Foundation Day, where he sharply criticised the opposition parties Congress and the Samajwadi Party. Shah alleged that both parties were attempting to create unrest in the hill state ahead of upcoming elections, and urged the public to reject their "divisive" politics.
He highlighted the government's development initiatives in Uttarakhand, citing improvements in infrastructure, tourism and disaster management. Shah warned that any attempt by the opposition to derail these efforts would be met with firm resistance from the central government.
Political analysts noted that Shah's remarks are part of a broader strategy to consolidate the BJP's position in the region before the next assembly polls. The Home Minister's comments came as the state celebrated its foundation day, a symbolic occasion that underscores Uttarakhand's identity and progress.
The Congress and Samajwadi Party have not yet issued a formal response, but party leaders are expected to address Shah's accusations in upcoming press briefings.
