‘ Rahul should stop daydreaming’
Neither the country nor Rajasthan is secure in their ( Congress) hands — Amit Shah, BJP chief
Jaipur, Sept. 26: The Bharatiya Janata Party president Amit Shah Wedn- esday asked Congress president Rahul Gandhi to stop daydreaming about coming to power in the upcoming elections.
Addressing party workers in Dhankya, nearly 35 km from the state capital, Mr Shah predicted a speedy decline of the Congress from mainstream politics. The BJP president said, “Rahul Baba ( Mr Gandhi) should stop daydreaming. Congress is at such a position that it would ( soon) be difficult to find them with binoculars. Neither the country nor Rajasthan is secure in their ( Congress) hands.”
Recalling the recent successes of the BJP in state elections, Mr Shah said Mr Gandhi should analyse why the Congress tasted defeat in elections after Narendra Modi- led BJP government came to power in the Centre.
In a mythological reference, the BJP president compared the saffron party to ‘ Angad’s foot’ as no one could dislodge them ( the BJP) in Rajasthan or even the Centre just as no one including Ravana could move Angad’s foot in Hindu epic Ramayana.
Mr Shah hit out at the Congress president for seeking an account of works done by the BJP- led NDA government at the Centre in the past fouranda- half years, saying the people of the country want to know what four generations of his family had done for them.
He said the Centre had provided over ` 2.63 lakh crore to Rajasthan during its tenure, whereas Congress despite having governments in the state and Centre provided only ` 1.09 lakh crore.
“We have not done any favours to the people but have given them their rights and you ( Mr Gandhi) are seeking an account from us. First, finalise your leader under whom you want to contest elections in Rajasthan,” said Mr Shah.
Mr Shah attacked the the Congress on the issues of National Register of Citizens in Assam and surgical strike. He said human rights of Indian youths were more important. than the interests of intruders. — PTI
