TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ BJP President Amit Shah has hit out at Congress President Rahul Gandhi, saying he is not a “sahabzade” who has got the top post due to a family. Mr Shah also rejected charges of corruption leveled by former Union ministers Yashwant Sinha and Arun Shourie in the Rafale fighter jet deal, saying credence should be given to the Defence Minister’s statement and not those “who did not get jobs.”
During an interview after unveiling a book “Blueprint for an Economic Miracle” authored by Pradeep Gupta at Constitution Club, Mr. Shah expressed confidence that people of the country will again elect Narendra Modi as Prime Minister with a better mandate than it got in 2014.
Answering questions from the moderator, he refused to speak on Rahul Gandhi hugging the Prime Minister in Lok Sabha during the debate on no-confidence motion. “I will not comment on it. It is not my level,” he said. But he took a jab at him when he was asked if the BJP will have to work hard to win assembly elections in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. “Paseena bahana hamare swabhav me hai (working hard is in our nature)…hum koi sahabzade nahi hain jinko parampara me parivar mila hai (I am not sahabzade who has got family in tradition),” he said.
