Waqf Board law will be changed by Modi government, says Amit Shah
Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday attacked the Congress and the Maha Vikas Aghadi at election rallies in Chandrapur, Umerkheda, and Hingoli in Maharashtra.
Defence Minister and senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader Rajnath Singh on Thursday said the Narendra Modi-led government at the Centre believes in work not words, and stressed that promises and commitment made by the party in 2019 election manifesto have been translated into action.
Singh undertook a one-day visit to Odisha during which he addressed two public meetings and workers’ meet ahead of the upcoming 2024 Lok Sabha and Odisha Assembly polls.
Iterating the fulfillment of the 2019 poll manifesto, Singh said the previous governments promised a lot during the polls. ”However, they were unable to fulfill the poll promises and commitments. But the BJP is such a political party which acts as per the commitment,” he pointed out.

”There is no difference in our words and actions. Congress has the past track record of doling out promises without fulfilling it after the government comes to power. A crisis of credibility and trust deficit had emerged in India’s political firmament,” he stated.
Singh said Prime Minister Modi has taken it as a challenge to wipe out the crisis of credibility.
”We want to say to our opponents that we have fulfilled everything (issues) that we had raised in the election manifesto. Prime Minister Modi is always concerned that our credibility is not questioned. I was the chairman of the election manifesto committee in 2019. We had promised the scrapping of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir and we scrapped the article after coming to power. We promised to end triple talaq and we did so,” the minister pointed out.
People (Opposition) were saying BJP is doing divisive politics by dividing Hindus and Muslims, he said. Dismissing the allegation, he pointed out that “we do politics of justice and humanitarianism, not the politics of caste, creed and religion.
The senior BJP leader also predicted the fall of the BJD Government in Odisha saying that “there will be double engine governments led by BJP in the State and Centre”.
