The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has launched a scathing attack on the Congress by invoking Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan's latest release "Jawan", claiming that the film exposes the Congress's 10 years of "corrupt and policy paralysis-ridden" regime.
Sharing a poster of the film on X (previously Twitter), BJP national spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia wrote: “We must thank Shah Rukh Khan for exposing the corrupt, policy paralysis ridden Congress rule from 2004 to 2014 through Jawan movie, reminds all viewers of the tragic political past during the UPA government.”
“As he (Khan) puts it, 'Hum jawaan hain, apni jaan hazaar baar daon par laga sakte hain, lekin sirf desh ke liye; tumhare jaise desh bechne walo ke liye hargiz nahi.' It's so apt for the Gandhi family,” the BJP spokesperson added.
Bhatia further pointed out various alleged scams during UPA regime, including CWG, 2G and coal-gate, stating that “the government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi has maintained a 'clean record' with no scams in the past nine and a half years.”
He also claimed that over 1.6 lakh farmers committed suicides during the Congress era while the NDA government implemented MSP credited Rs 2.55 lakh crore directly to the bank account of 11 crore farmers through PM Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme.
Bhatia pointed out, “Congress Rule extended loans to defaulting friends. Fugitive Vijay Mallya thanked the then PM Manmohan Singh ji for extending further loan, without even repayment of the earlier loans”
BJP leader further said: “Gandhi Parivar prioritised VVIP choppers over bulletproof jackets for our soldiers, whereas BJP provided 2.3 lakh bulletproof jackets, disbursed 1.2 lakh crores through OROP, and upgraded the armed forces with Rafale, Apache, and Chinook.”
“Thank you, Shah Rukh Khan. Under the leadership of PM Shri Narendra Modi Ji, these issues are now a thing of the past,” he concluded.
