Rahul lacks vision to see BJP's work: Amit Shah

Warangal: Launching a scathing attack on the Congress, BJP national president Amit Shah said AICC general secretary Rahul Gandhi needs the vision to see the difference between Congress rule and BJP rule.

Referring to Rahul Gandhi’s jibe that even after BJP came to power, there was still firing in Kashmir, the BJP chief said at a public meeting in Warangal on Saturday, “Rahul Baba needs to understand that during the Congress rule, Pakistan used to start firing on the Indian Army and only stopped when it wanted to. But in BJP rule, if Pakistan Army starts firing, the Indian Army ends it.”

He said the Congress faces corruption allegations to the tune of Rs 12 lakh-crore. “During the past 2.5 years, there is not even one corruption allegation against the Modi government,” he said.

Referring to Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad’s comments that the PM is always on a foreign tour, Amit Shah said that former PM Manmohan Singh visited more countries that Modi.

Several cultural programmes on the Hyderabad liberation struggle were organised at the public meeting. Union ministers Bandaru Dattatreya and Hansraj Ahir, state BJP chief K. Laxman, MLC Ramachandra Rao and others were present.
