Top themes from Home Minister Amit Shah’s campaign speech: “We want to change the Waqf Board law. Just a few days ago, the Waqf took over an entire village in Karnataka, including houses, fields, and temples. Once we amend it, the Waqf won’t be able to usurp your land. The opposition can keep opposing this, but Modi is going to change this law. The Waqf won’t be able to grab land anymore.”
“The Ulema met with Congress representatives and demanded a 10% reservation for Muslims. If Muslims are to be given reservation, then someone else’s reservation must be reduced. They will do this by reducing reservations for SC/ST, OBC, Dalit, and Adivasi communities and giving it to their ‘vote bank.’ Should reservation be reduced for SC/ST, OBC, Dalit, and Adivasis? As long as we are in power, we will never give minorities reservation.”
