The attack
Rahul baba is day dreaming, claims Shah
Earlier, Congress President Rahul Gandhi had claimed his party will form a government in all states which are up for polls: Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Telangana, and Mizoram.
On this Shah said, "Rahul baba is dreaming in the day that his party is going to form the government in Madhya Pradesh."
He added dreaming wasn't bad but one shouldn't build 'castles in the air'.
Attack on Congress
Congress can't be seen even with binoculars: Shah
Further ridiculing the grand old party, Shah said traces of Congress cannot be found even if one used binoculars.
"After 2014 (when the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance took over at the Centre), people have no room for the Congress and it has been wiped out from (most) states," Shah said.
He then asked Gandhi to tell who was Congress' face in Madhya Pradesh.
Quote
Raja, maharaja or industrialist, who is your leader, asks Shah
"Rahul Gandhi, who is your leader in Madhya Pradesh? Is it raja (Digvijay Singh), maharaja (Jyotiraditya Scindia) or a worn-out industrialist (Kamal Nath)?" Shah asked. Notably, BJP has been governing the state since 2003, and Shivraj Singh Chouhan has held the CM post since 2005.
