Those of Italy origin won't understand development done by Modi: Shah targets Rahul and Priyanka

In a veiled swipe at Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday said a brother and sister duo whose “origins are in Italy” won’t be able to understand the development done by the Narendra Modi government.

In a veiled swipe at Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday said a brother and sister duo whose "origins are in Italy" won't be able to understand the development done by the Narendra Modi government.

Addressing a public meeting at Junnardeo in Chhindwara district of poll-bound Madhya Pradesh, Mr. Shah said the people of India can clearly understand the development and referred to the construction of Ram temple and the abrogation of article 370 among other achievements.

When the world is praising India's growth story, the Congress is unable to see any positivity in the country, the BJP MP alleged.

“The brother and sister (Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi-Vadra) while roaming in poll-bound States keep asking what has been done (by the BJP-led Centre), but they won't be able to understand this (development) as their origin is in Italy. Those having their origin in India will clearly understand this,” Mr. Shah said.

Chhindwara is the pocket borough of Madhya Pradesh Congress president and former Chief Minister Kamal Nath who is in the fray for the November 17 assembly elections.

“Rahul Baba used to remark that the BJP will only talk about the temple (in Ayodhya) but won't tell its date. Now see, Modi ji has not only constructed the temple but has also told the date (of the consecration). Just go there and seek blessings to get satisfaction,” he said.
