Amit Shah throws gauntlet at Rahul Gandhi on corporate loan waiver

TIL Desk/National/Bengaluru/ BJP President Amit Shah has challenged Congress chief Rahul Gandhi to make public if the BJP government has waived the loans of any one industrialist, instead of “misleading” the country.

“I was listening to the speeches of Rahul Gandhi here (during election campaigns). He keeps on saying, Modi government does not waive farmers’ loans, but waives that of industrialists,” Shah said in an interaction with trade and industry leaders here. Challenging Gandhi, he said “if the Narendra Modi government has waived any one industrialist’s loan, let him make it public, instead of misleading the country.”

Shah said the AICC president does not know the difference between loan waiver and non-performing assets.”Because of this (lack of understanding), he is misleading the country … If he could pronounce the name of Visvesvaraya that would be good enough,” he said. Shah was apparently referring to Gandhi reportedly mispronouncing the name of Bharat Ratna Visvesvaraya, a renowned engineer, while campaigning in Karnataka.
