Union home minister
Amit Shah
on Thursday hit out at Congress’
Rahul Gandhi
, suggesting that his party will get such a drubbing in the election that he will have to take out a ‘
Congress Dhoondho Yatra
’ after June 4 — the day of
vote counting
.
Addressing a public rally in
Bareilly
, Shah alleged that Gandhi and
SP chief Akhilesh Yadav
did not attend ‘pran pratishtha’ in Ayodhya “for fear of losing their vote bank.”
“Shehzada (prince) of ‘ghamandi INDI alliance’ started his
election campaign
with Bharat Jodo Yatra but on June 4, it will end with ‘Congress Dhoondho Yatra’,” Shah said.
On the party not fielding
Santosh Gangwar
from Bareilly, he said, “Since 1989, people of Bareilly have elected Santosh eight times. Party has thought of a different role for him in future. That is why we brought
Chhatrapal Gangwar
as a LS candidate.” Supporters of 75-year-old sitting MP Santosh were earlier shocked to find he had been dropped and Chhatrapal fielded instead.
