Amit Shah’s poser to Rahul: ‘Should illegal Bangladesh­is be allowed to stay in India?’

BJP PREZ FLAGS OFF VASUNDHARA’S RAJASTHAN GAURAV YATRA

- OUR CORRESPOND­ENT

BJP president Amit Shah flagged off Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje’s pre-poll tour ‘Rajasthan Gaurav Yatra’ on Saturday and tore into the Opposition Congress over alleged lack of developmen­t in the state under its rule. Flagging off the 58-day yatra, aimed at seeking people’s mandate in the Assembly elections scheduled to be held later this year, from the Charbhujan­ath temple in Rajsamand district, Shah launched a scathing attack on Congress president Rahul Gandhi.

Targeting the Congress over the National Register of Citizens (NRC) issue in Assam, Shah said that the Congress was seeing illegal Bangladesh­i residing in India as its vote bank and asked people to pose a question to Rahul Gandhi whether the illegal Ban- gladeshi people should live in India or not. “Congress president should tell the people whether illegal Bangladesh­i should be in India or not. Congress is actually looking at vote bank but the Modi government does not run on the basis of vote bank,” he said.

Speaking at a public meeting, Shah said ‘Rahul Baba’ should go and see the villages where no developmen­t had taken place in the 50 years of the Congress rule. But the situation has changed under the BJP rule and now developmen­t works are happening there.

“Congress leaders here have said that they will ask 40 questions during the yatra. Rahul Baba also asks questions and seeks the account of works done by the BJP, but public is asking from you the account of works done by your four generation­s,” he said.
