AHMEDABAD: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national president Amit Shah on Sunday took a dig at Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi saying that people from Amethi come to Gujarat looking for jobs.
"Congress is the leader, there is no policy, yet a mob has come together to form the government," he said.
Hitting out at the Congress, he said that when in power the UPA government stopped the Narmada project for many years and did not even sanction to set up the gate of the dam. He claimed that within 14 days of becoming the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi allowed the gates of the dam.
He called that in the three years of Modi government, Gujarat "got the gift of the bullet train, got an international airport, Ro-Ro Ferry service started and 2500 km. A highway was created."
Earlier in the day, Amit Shah met BJP workers at a booth in Dewanpur for the Mann ki baat - chai ke saath program.
The event - 'Mann ki baat - chai ke saath' - was held at all 50,128 polling booths in 182 Assembly seats in Gujarat. It was announced by state BJP in-charge Bhupender Yadav on November 23 after a meme mocking PM Modi over his tea-seller background was tweeted by the Youth Congress.
