Shah attacks Rahul, says no comparison between him and Modi

BJP chief Amit Shah Sunday said there was no comparison between Congress president Rahul Gandhi and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, with one remembering the poor at the time of polls, while the other working non-stop to bring a change in their lives.

He said people have rejected politics of dynasty and corruption which prevailed earlier.

Choosing Sonipat to address his first poll rally in Haryana for the Lok Sabha election, Shah launched a scathing attack on Gandhi on various issues, and also criticised the previous governments of Bhupinder Singh Hooda and Om Prakash Chautala.

He also took a swipe at former chief minister Bhajan Lal, whose grandson Bhavya Bishnoi is contesting from Hisar.

From Sonipat, former Haryana chief minister and Congress leader Bhupinder Singh Hooda is contesting and is pitted among others against BJP's sitting MP Ramesh Chander Kaushik and JJP's Digvijay Chautala, grandson of former chief minister Om Prakash Chautala.

Attacking Gandhi, Shah said the Congress chief remembers the poor when polls are round the corner.

He said the Congress leader was fourth generation leader of the Nehru-Gandhi family and despite being in power for decades, they had failed to eliminate poverty.

Asserting that there was no comparison between Gandhi and Modi, he said, "When mercury soars in the country during summers, Rahul Baba goes for foreign vacations. He is young and a bachelor, we have no objection to his vacations, but he goes to undisclosed locations and even his mother keeps searching for him."
Without taking any name, he said, "Congress ke neta, mein aap ko poochna chhata hoon (Congress' leader, I want to ask you)"
