Amit Shah takes jibe at Opp meet in Patna, calls it 'photo session'

Shah, who was addressing a public meeting here during his 2-days visit to Jammu and Kashmir, said despite such attempts of the opposition, Narendera Modi will once again become prime minister in 2024 by winning more than 300 seats in the Lok Sabha. “Opposition is having a photo session in Patna. They can never come together to challenge Modi, people have made up their mind, they want Narendra Modi government to return to power in 2024 with more than 300 seats”, Shah said.

“The opposition leaders who have assembled in Patna say they will remove Modi. I want to tell them that they can shake hands but they lack unity and even if they come together, Modi will return to power”, he said. Targeting Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, Shah said “Rahul baba” has developed negativity in his mind and knows only to protest even against every step taken by the government for betterment of the people.
