“He is mocking at the development in Gujarat. I want to ask ‘Shahzade’ of Congress as to what your three generations have given to Amethi,” the BJP president said at a public meeting here. “You sought account of our past three years but people of Amethi are taking account of works done here by your past three generations,” he said.
On Rahul Gandhi’s repeated poser as to what the BJP had done, Shah said, “We have given a prime minister who speaks.” “You have trusted a family for 60 years, now trust BJP and (Prime Minister Narendra) Modi and you will not feel betrayed,” Shah told the gathering in the presence of Union minister Smriti Irani and chief minister Yogi Adityanath.
Shah said there were two models of development here — a ‘Nehru-Gandhi model’ and the other the ‘Modi model’. “Congress ruled the country for 70 years. I want to ask you that you have been MP here for a long time but why there is no collector’s office, TB hospital and Akashwani’s FM here. Erosion of land due to Gomti river has not been stopped,” Shah said.
