Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday slammed the Congress, saying that its move to field Rahul Gandhi from the Raebareli Lok Sabha seat will not be successful as the party leader will lose by a huge margin.
“Prime Minister Narendra Modi successfully launched Chandrayaan in the very first attempt. On the other hand, Sonia Gandhi has tried to launch Rahul ‘baba’ 20 times and failed each time. He ran away from Amethi and today, for the 21st time, his candidature has been announced from Raibareli. I can assure you that he is going to lose by a huge margin against BJP’s Dinesh Pratap Singh,” Amit Shah said while addressing a rally at Chikodi in Karnataka’s Belagavi district.
Earlier on Friday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi too had taken a dig at Congress’ decision, stating that the party’s “Shehzada” fears defeat in Wayanad so he has chosen the Raebareli constituency as an “escape route”.
