According to sources BJP National President Amit Shah said "In pursuit of vote bank politics, the Congress popularized 'Hindu Terror' and tried to implicate some Hindu activists in the Meccas Masjid blast case in Hyderabad over a decade ago, though a NIA court acquitted them". Meanwhile the National Investigation Agency (NIA) court in Hyderabad acquitted all the five Hindu activists, including Swamy Aseemanand who was accused of triggering a bomb blast in the mosque that killed nine worshipers near the iconic Charminar on May 18, 2007.
Amit Shah recalled as "Congress leaders, including P. Chidambaram, Sushil Kumar Shinde and Digvijay Singh carried out 'Hindu Terror' campaign and tried to defame Hindus within and outside the country to appease a section of society". Moreover Shah thundered "The people of Karnataka are waiting to punish the Congress in the May 12 state assembly elections".
Further admitting that it was important for the BJP to win in the state
polls to keep the momentum in the run-up to the 2019 general elections, Shah
said the party was in power at the Centre and 21 states across the country. He
is sure of his party winning in the upcoming elections as the people across the
state were fed up of corruption and crime in the Congress reign.
