Top themes of Home Minister Amit Shah’s campaign speech at an election rally: “We have given the poor among the Swarna community a 10% reservation, but the Congress wants to end that. They have crossed the limit. In Maharashtra, the Ulema-e-Hind has asked for a 10% reservation for Muslims, but our Constitution doesn’t allow that. Congress, for its vote bank, will make it happen. They will give 10% reservations to Muslims. Where will they get it from? They will take it from the Dalits, SC/ST, OBC, and Adivasis and give it to Muslims.”
“They have crossed the limit of appeasement. Where do you think all your jobs are going? They give them to the ‘infiltrators.’ Shouldn’t we stop this infiltration? They come from Bangladesh, take our jobs, and deceive our women into marrying them. I promise you, we will stop it. If they have taken your land, we will legally return it to you.”
