Addressing a rally in Himachal Pradesh, BJP president Amit Shah gave a new definition to the abbreviation OROP, and attacked the Congress party’s dynasty culture and its decades-long inefficiency. Referring to the recent elevation of Priyanka Gandhi Vadra in the Congress party, he said that OROP means ‘Only Rahul Only Priyanka’ for the party.

Amit Shah said that while the OROP implemented by BJP is for the benefit of Indian soldiers, the OROP of the Congress party is for only one family. Shah lauded the Modi government for fulfiling the promise of commissioning OROP (One Rank One Pension) for the armed forces veterans while criticising Congress for promoting only the Gandhi family.
“It is the Modi government that understood the pain of soldiers by implementing the OROP scheme that is One Rank One Pension, but Congress also brought OROP but it meant Only Rahul Only Priyanka,” Amit Shah said.
Shah alleged that despite 55 years of Congress rule on the country, the poverty in the country has not been eliminated. It took a BJP government to think about the poors of this country which were hitherto ignored by the Gandhi family-led Congress. Shah contended that after the implementation of Ayushmaan Bharat Yojana, the poor of the country will no longer be apprehensive with the health-related concerns.
Highlighting how previous Congress regimes have ignored and spurned the aspirations of the state of Himachal Pradesh, Shah alleged that while Congress was in power, Himachal got Rs 44,235 crore from the 13th Finance Commission, but the Narendra Modi government has allocated Rs 1,15,865 crore to Himachal for carrying out developmental work in the state.
Taking a jibe at Rahul Gandhi, Shah contended that those who are out on bail in a Rs 650 scam are trying to smear dirt on the Modi government. He further quipped that the Country needs a ‘Leader’, not a ‘Dealer’.
Shah also reiterated the BJP’s stance regarding the Tukde Tukde Gang. Justifying the action initiated against the accused, Shah asserted that those who will chant slogans of dismembering India will be jailed.
