Rahul Gandhi insulting slain Army soldiers, alleges Shah
BJP chief Amit Shah today alleged that Congress President Rahul Gandhi was insulting slain Army soldiers by claiming that the 2016 surgical strike across the LoC was conducted to win the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. Addressing a gathering today at Udaipur, Rajasthan, he said that today Army jawans have developed a sense of pride that their government is standing behind them rock solid.
'Prime Minister Narendra Modi took revenge for Army martyrs'
"Prime Minister Narendra Modi took revenge for Army martyrs. Rahul Gandhi is saying that surgical strike was conducted to win Uttar Pradesh election. You insult the martyrs of the country. You could not even show some courage," Shah said in Phalodi district of Jodhpur.
Modi shaped surgical strike into a political asset: Rahul
Addressing a gathering at Udaipur in poll-bound Rajasthan earlier today, Rahul Gandhi alleged that the surgical strike was made public as the BJP was fighting elections in Uttar Pradesh. He further said, "The surgical strike was conducted thrice during Manmohan Singh government. Are you aware of it? Modi actually reached into the Army's domain and shaped surgical strike into a political asset."
Shah hit out at Congress for not declaring CM candidate
Hitting out at Congress, Shah said, "On one hand there is a troop of patriots under the leadership of Narendra Modi and on the other hand there is a troop which doesn't have a leader, policy and principles." He also took a dig at Gandhi's party for not declaring its chief ministerial candidate saying how an "army" can one win without finalizing its leader.
