Bharatiya Janata Party president Amit Shah on Saturday hit out at Congress alleging that the rival party did not do anything significant for the country's development while it was in power.

"Rahul Baba's family ruled the country for 55 years but didn't take any significant steps to develop the country. On the other hand, Modi ji worked for 55 months and accomplished what he had promised," he said.

"Apart from the BJP and Narendra Modi, no one in India can make the country strong. We don't do vote bank politics. For us the safety of our citizens and the sovereignty of our country are paramount," he added.

The BJP leader also asserted that in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, BJP will win in Uttar Pradesh, Bengal and Odisha.

Shah reiterated that his political party is committed building Ram Temple on the birthplace of Lord Ram.

"NCP and Congress leaders must make it clear before the commencement of the election whether they are in favour of building Ram Temple in Ayodhya or not," he added.
