Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday, April 19, filed his nomination for the Gandhinagar Lok Sabha seat and said the General Election was all about giving a third term to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Shah was accompanied by Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel when he submitted his nomination to the Gandhinagar Collector and District Election Officer MK Dave in the state capital at 12.39 pm, considered as “Vijay Muhurat”.
Talking to reporters, Shah said this General Election was all about giving a third term to PM Modi so that he could make India a developed nation by 2047.
He said Modi’s third term would be crucial because his first two terms went into correcting the mistakes made by the previous Congress-led UPA government. “This election is all about making Narendra Modi our PM for the third time. Modiji has resolved to turn India into a developed country by 2047 and number one in all sectors. The next five years are crucial if we want to achieve that because the last 10 years went into filling pits (gadde) created by the previous UPA government,” Shah said. The next five years would be used to create a strong foundation for “Viksit Bharat”, he said.
The opposition Congress has fielded party secretary Sonal Patel from Gandhinagar. Voting for all 26 Lok Sabha seats in Gujarat will be held in the third phase on May 7.
