BJP president Amit Shah Wednesday hit back at Congress chief Rahul Gandhi over his remarks on the the success of 'Mission Shakti', saying that for "the inheritor of the dynasty" everything -- be it success of scientists or sacrifice of soldiers -- is "drama".

Gandhi, in a tweet, congratulated the DRDO scientists for the success of the mission while at the same time took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi wishing him a "very happy World Theatre Day'.

Tagging Gandhi's tweet, Shah tweeted, "Thus speaks the inheritor of the dynasty that thinks - All the nation's a stage! For them: Sacrifices of soldiers drama, Success of scientists drama, Masquerading as leaders, all that 'The Dynasty' has done is to plunder, weaken and ruin the nation."
Taking on opposition, Shah in a series of tweets said, "The Anti-Satellite (ASAT) Missile was successfully tested in space but it seems a few people on Earth have also got hurt. After spending a lifetime of humiliating our soldiers, Leaders of the Opposition have expanded their influence to ridiculing our scientists."
