Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday (8 May) launched a scathing attack on Rahul Gandhi, saying the Congress MP would be defeated in Rae Bareli after which he should settle down in Italy.
"From Amethi, he went to Wayanad and now is in Rae Bareli where he is going to be defeated. Now he should go to Italy and settle down there as it is the only place left for him," Shah said during a rally in Uttar Pradesh's Hardoi, Times of India reported.
Shah also said that Gandhi, who took out Bharat Jodo Yatra, will have to take out ‘Congress Dhoondo Yatra’ (Find Congress march) after the elections.
Later at a rally in Kannauj, Shah claimed that if the opposition won the Lok Sabha seats in Uttar Pradesh, it would lead to celebrations in Pakistan as the neighbouring country appreciates Rahul Gandhi because he objected to Modi govt’s surgical strike on terrorists and crack down on Maoists.
He also accused the Congress of stalling the Ram temple issue for 70 years and said, “When you made Modi the PM for the second time, he not only won the legal dispute involving the Ram Janmabhoomi but also performed the bhoomi puja of the Ram temple".
