New Delhi, Jun 9 (PTI): Mocking Rahul Gandhi as a "babua" (child), BJP president Amit Shah on Friday said the Congress chief keeps attacking the government for not doing one thing or another but should instead give account of the works of his three generations who ruled India for decades.
Addressing workers of Jaipur Rural Lok Sabha constituency represented by Union minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, Amit Shah also took a jibe at the rival party over its "happiness" on the BJP's defeat in bypolls and said he considered himself lucky that he has got such an opposition which was satisfied with victory in a few by-elections even though it was losing power in many states.
"We lost eight bypolls, but snatched power from them (opposition) in 14 states," he said here.
Giving an account of the Modi government's works, including building of toilets, distribution of LPG cylinders and other welfare measures, he said, "Rahul Gandhi (says) this has not happened, that has not happened."
"Arre babua', tell me brother what you have done in 70 years? Your three generations were in power for 70 years and if they had done all these works then it would not be our luck to provide people toilets and poor mothers gas cylinders," he said.
The opposition is disconnected from the ground, Amit Shah said and, in an apparent attack on Rahul Gandhi, added that nobody knows when he goes on a vacation and comes back.
Temperature in Gujarat and Rajasthan soars to 50 degrees Celsius and it is is difficult to tolerate it, he said wryly.
Shah asked BJP workers to work overtime to ensure the party's win in the Rajasthan assembly poll, which is due later this year along with elections in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, so that its winning streak after emerging as the single largest party in Karnataka continues.
The Modi government has done a lot of work to bring about a fundamental change in the lives of the people and positively impacted over 50 crore citizens, he said.
It was due to its works that the BJP won elections in so many states and is now ruling 20 of them.
The central government had built 7.5 crore toilets, distributed 4 crore gas cylinders, taken electricity to one crore homes after electrifying all villages, provided one crore houses and opened bank accounts of more than 30 crore people, the BJP president added.

Sat, Jun 09 2018Amit Shah you will be lucky if your chaddi gang of thugs that comprises the Brashtachar/Balatkar Janata/Jumla/Joker Party win a few seats in 2019. I hope thugs and scoundrels like you suffer the wrath of God and are wiped out from the face of this earth!

Sat, Jun 09 2018Dear cha, stop lying about Congress work. Ask your mother or grandma they will tell you how was India when British left. Don’t fool people by saying what Congress has done in for the last 70 years. Don’t forget what you are enjoying is the gift of last 70 years of Congress rule. Until 70’s banking was only rich class’s affair until Indira gandhi nationalized most of the banks. She made poor farmers life easier when she ordered to own a piece of land where he work. You will find hundreds of such great works by Congress govt if you really want to know. So stop lying & stop misguiding young generation.

Sat, Jun 09 2018Mr.Amit Shah, after a few days you have come in the limelight. You do not admit faults in your party and only taking hatredness as your agenda towards Congress. Stop this as you will never find any genuine reason to attack them. I do understand your problem as you lost in Karnataka. Its bound to happen in every state sooner or later as people of this country are suffering. So go back and review what have you have achieved and was all that pleasing God and the people of this country. My request is take a break and sit alone for sometime and think about it. Surely you will know the facts and may change your mind. Money cannot buy character. We all make mistakes and we do correct ourselves.

Sat, Jun 09 2018Amit Shah knows the percentage of votes INC polled in Karnataka despite reported EVM malfunction.
Whether won or Lost, use only Ballot papers like Israel & Japanese.
If Rahul is Pappu, not a threat to their political leadership, why simply Amit Shah always so concerned and remembering him.
Why taking him so seriously? Must walk the talks to be believed 😀

If people were fed up with congress, They would not have got even 10!. Pyramid Madhwaraj type of people were defeated means that says a lot about people who voted such a person as Raghupatio that!

Sat, Jun 09 2018To know 70 years developments that India has undergone, all this inventor of of the term Jumla has to do is to listen to his own party's MEA, Sushma Swaraj's address at UNO last year. She starts from Green revolution and self sufficiency of food grains, railways, water dams and irrigation, aviation, space technology, nuclear power, world class IITs and IIMs etc.
On the other hand what Feku has to offer? Even though he was the luckiest PM to get crude oil prices at the lowest, where majority of our forex goes, ruined the economy by demonetization and allowed the fraudsters to flee the country with the loot.

Do not mock - very soon you yourself will say, along with Namo, Nimo, Mallya and all other enterpruner moguls that 'Lucky to have one term after 10 years of MMS', before handing the chair to Congress.

Sat, Jun 09 2018I just wonder - many of you have experienced congress/BJP/CPM and other party rules.
What India would have been like if BJP ruled India starting day after Independence?
How about Education?
How about Religious Harmony?
How about Industry and defense?
BJP wants to take us back to Ramayana and Mahabharata times! History says they were Indian's BEST
DAYS! We cannot prove History RIGHT or WRONG!
How many Hospitals/Universities/colleges did we have?
How many Hydroelectric/dams/bridges did we build other than one from Tamil Nadu to Colombo Sri Lanka? Bundle Shahji please wake up and smell fresh breeze! We're in Modern Age BJP would have taken India back to DARK AGES???????????

Sat, Jun 09 2018People need better gov't. They gave Modi a chance because he was telling "Acche Din Aanewale Hain" But, he couldn't change it to "Acche Din Aa gaye".
So, when you can't be better then previous, people find the previous one is better.
"Dakuva" will not understand this.
