Shah accused the Congress of trying every trick to fight and defeat Aadhaar as it is the “fountainhead of middlemen and corruption”.
“They tried to mislead people on various grounds, including scare-mongering on privacy. Today they stand exposed and defeated,” he said in a series of tweets attacking the Congress.
