Rahul roams in Gujarat with a chit in hand given by NGOs: Shah

Bhuj: BJP president Amit Shah today asked five questions to opposition Congress party in a press conference at Gandhidham in Kutch on first of his five-day Gujarat wide organizational tour.

Shah asked Congress:

Why approval to Narmada project took so long time?

Why permission was not granted to close the gates of Narmada dam?

Why Kutch was not given special grant for Rann area?

Why capital Gandhinagar was not given central grant?

Why injustice was made to Gujarat on crude oil royalty issue for years?

Shah alleged Rahul roams around Gujarat with a chit in hand given to him by various NGOs. He said Congress suddenly starts loving Gujarat overwhelmingly just before the elections here.

Shah shared various works done by Narendra Modi led central government for Gujarat. He also shared development figures.

Kutch university, Ghaduli-Santalpur, FM radio station, Narmada canal reached Kutch, tanker raj was almost eliminated, Kutch has become one of biggest employment giver district contrary to past when people were migrating from here, passport office was opened here, horticulture development, drip irrigation expansion, Bhuj – Naliya broad gauge conversion, building a dairy in Kutch that has given Rs 500 crore earning to maldharis were some of works in Kutch by the government that Amit Shah mentioned in his media address.

Shah challenged Congress party to contest the election in Gujarat on development agenda. He said Congress should compare development in Gujarat with any other state or it should compare its rule in Gujarat with the rule by BJP.

In reply to a question regarding Jatiwad factor in Gujarat election, Shah said, people of Gujarat have suffered due to Jativadi politics during Madhavsinh rule. The people of Gujarat are smart enough to prefer development over casteism.

In reply to a question on Jay Shah issue he said, ‘enough explanations are given on this issue. Other thing, Jay himself has gone to court, let they field their lawyers. May allegations were posed at them, why didn’t they go to court? Whatever evidences they have, let them put in court.’

When asked about impact of demonetization and GST on middle class, Shah said, ‘if there’s some problem, we will hear them, and find a way out with sensitivity.’

When asked what shall be the impact of Dalit activist Jignesh Mevani joining Congress, Shah replied: Bhupendraji had tweeted something yesterday, you please go through it.
