In earlier rallies, Shah had asked people to vote for the Bharatiya Janata Party so that there will “never be a Shaheen Bagh” in Delhi.

He used to raise slogans like “Desh Ke Gadaaron Ko, Goli Maaro Saalon Ko” (Shoot Traitors of the country), where he was calling the first part of the slogan and second part used to come as reply from the audience.
Finding his propaganda as objectionable the Election Commission of India (ECI) directed BJP to drop him from the list of it’s star campaigners and imposed restriction on him barring him from addressing election rallies for 72 hours.
