BIJNOR (UP): BJP chief Amit Shah Sunday said that the Congress president Rahul Gandhi should apologise to the people of the country for “giving a clean chit” to Pakistan-based terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba in the Samjhauta Express blast case, sending Swami Aseemanand and other “innocent persons” to jail and “putting a tag of terrorism on Hindus”.
While ridiculing for Mr Rahul Gandhi’s decision to contest from Wayanad Lok Sabha constituency, Amit Shah told the Congress president has “fled” to Kerala fearing that he will lose Amethi constituency. He was speaking at his first election meeting in western UP. The voting will be held here on April 11.
“Rahul Gandhi has fled to Kerala as he fears that Amethi voters will seek an account of his contributions to the constituency from him,” the BJP chief said. “It is the politics of appeasement happening in Kerala, which would bring him success”, however, he accused the Congress Party of their vote bank politics.
The Congress announced earlier on Saturday that Gandhi will contest from Wayanad besides his traditional constituency of Amethi. Wayanad, a constituency where traditionally, Congress and IUML have had a good hold and the party believes that all Congress factions along with the IUML will work together to make Rahul win.
