BHOPAL: BJP President Amit Shah on Thursday took a dig at his Congress counterpart, saying Rahul Gandhi was “afflicted with Modiphobia” and that is why he chants “Modi-Modi”.
Speaking at a rally in Barwani, which comprises four tribal-dominated assembly seats, scheduled to go to polls along with the rest of the state on November 28.
Shah claimed Gandhi’s speeches were leading to confusion that the Congress chief was addressing BJP rallies as he was referring to PM Modi more than his party’s colleagues and leaders.
Shah claimed the Congress had done no good for tribals but the BJP sanctioned the Indore-Manmad rail route for them.
Shah alleged that former prime minister Manmohan Singh had said that minorities have a right over the country’s resources but Modi had said tribals and the poor have control over the nation’s resources.
Shah will address a series of rallies and participate in road shows over the next seven days. He also accused the Congress of not paying respect to tribal “heroes” and worshipping only one family.
Shah claimed, the BJP government under Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has turned MP from a BIMARU state to a developed one.
Shah had urged the crowd at his rally to ask Modi, when he visits them, about the promises he made to people in 2014 after being elected.
