Hyderabad: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday said the 2024 general election is Rahul Gandhi versus Narendra Modi and that it is a contest between the vote for development and "vote for jihad."
Addressing an election rally in Bhongir Lok Sabha constituency of Telangana, he said the election is between Prime Minister Narendra Modi's "Bharatiya guarantee" against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's "Chinese guarantee."

Describing the Congress, Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) as a triangle of appeasement, he said the parties don't let Ram Navami procession to take place and that they also oppose Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA).

"These people don't allow the celebration of 'Hyderabad Liberation Day' (September 17). These people oppose CAA. These people want to run Telangana on the basis of Sharia and Quran," he said.
