Maharashtra Elections 2019: "None Had Courage, Man With 56-Inch Chest Did It"

Home Minister and BJP chief Amit Shah today attacked opposition parties – singling out the Congress – for not doing enough to integrate Jammu and Kashmir with the mainstream for over 70 years.
While addressing a rally in Kolhapur in Maharashtra, where assembly elections will be held on October 21, Mr Shah credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ability to stomach risks for the country’s development and gave as example the Modi government’s move to scrap special status to Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370 of the Constitution and divide the state into two Union Territories.

“After people of the country and Maharashtra voted him for a second term, Modi Ji did something for which the entire country had been waiting for 70 years. He abrogated Article 370 on August 5 and joined Jammu and Kashmir with the country’s mainstream,” Mr. Shah said, drawing loud applause from the crowd.
