TIL Desk/National/Jaipur/ BJP president Amit Shah on Wednesday 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 Rajasthan’s capital, Mr Shah predicted a speedy decline of the Congress from mainstream politics.
The BJP president said, “Rahul Baba (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 BJP 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 work done by the BJP-led NDA government at the centre in the past four-and-a-half years, saying the people of the country want to know what four generations of his family had done for them.
