Union home minister Amit Shah on Tuesday hit out at Congress, equating it to a student who scored 30 per cent but did not pass the examination.

“If one has to understand the outcomes of the 2024 lok Sabha poll they can see this example. There are two students. One is good in studies and scores 90% marks in every exam. On the other hand, the other student used to get 20 to 25 marks. But in one exam, the student who used to get 90 to 95% marks got 80%, and the one who used to get 20 marks got 30,” Shah said in his address to BJP workers in Maharashtra, where assembly elections will be announced soon.

“But the reality is that the student who got 30 marks has still not passed the exam. This is the difference between the BJP and the Congress,” the minister added.

Shah also hit out at Lok Sabha leader of opposition Rahul Gandhi, saying that the Congress leader said in America that India has developed enough and no longer needs reservations.

“But the BJP will not allow this to happen,” the minister added.

While speaking to party workers from Vidarbha and Marathwada division, Shah said that the BJP is different from rest of the political parties.

“The other parties hold rallies, roadshows, and press conferences when there is an election. But the BJP calls meetings with the Karyakartas and plans for the election. It is because the Karyakartas are the foundation of the party’s victory,” he added.

The Union home minister said that the BJP's work culture has been framed by Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyay.

"The booth Karyakartas are the focal points. They are the carriers of the BJP’s energy from Maharashtra to Delhi. We never set out to become ministers and chief ministers but rather to awaken cultural nationalism in the nation, to make Bharat a prosperous nation, and to build a secure and capable nation,” he added.

"Meet the farmers and inform them about all the schemes related to farmer welfare launched by the Modi government. We are an organisation that strengthened the party with the slogan of Bharat Mata Ki Jai even when we won merely 2 seats,” he said.
