Making his pitch for a “double engine” government in poll-bound Chhattisgarh, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said on Thursday that if the BJP came to power, Naxalism would be eliminated in five years.
Addressing poll rallies in three different parts of the State, including Jashpur, Mr. Shah also alleged that rampant “religious conversion” had been taking place under Congress rule, even as he invoked the late Dilip Singh Judev, scion of the Jashpur royal family , and an “anti-conversion crusader”.
“Chhattisgarh is still infested with Naxalaites. I appeal to you to form a double-engine government here and we promise to wipe out Naxalism within five years,” he said at Jashpur.
