Amit Shah targets Rahul over ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’

Bureau,Odishabarta

Jaipur: Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday targeted Rahul Gandhi over the ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’, saying the Congress leader had once said India is not a nation and is now out to “unite” the country wearing a “foreign-make” T-shirt.

Addressing the Rajasthan BJP booth functionaries in Jodhpur, Shah also hit out at the State Government over a host of issues including the murder of Udaipur tailor Kanhaiya Lal and Karauli violence. He alleged that the Congress can only practice politics of vote bank and appeasement.

Taking aim at Rahul, Shah said, “I want to remind Rahul baba and other Congress members about his speech given in Parliament. Rahul baba had said India is not a nation. Rahul baba, in which book have you read this? This is the nation for which lakhs and lakhs of people have sacrificed their lives. Rahul Gandhi has gone to connect Bharat, but I think that he needs to study Indian history first.”

“The one who said India is not a nation is now on a yatra to unite India wearing a foreign T-shirt,” he said, doubling down on the BJP attack at the Congress leader for wearing a Burberry T-shirt, reportedly costing over Rs 41,000.

He claimed the Congress cannot work for development. “It can only work for appeasement and vote bank politics.” The Congress, he said, will be left with nothing after the BJP forms government in Rajasthan and Chhatttisgarh, the only two States where it is in power on its own.
