The BJP president was also critical of the Congress President for making fun of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and demeaning him. Shah rapped the Congress chief for asking what the Modi government had done in four years. Instead, Shah said that the people of India have been demanding answers from the INC on its achievements for four decades. “Rahul baba humse chaar saal ka kya hisaab maangte ho? Desh ki janta aapse se chaar peedhi ka hisaab maang rahi hai,” Shah said. Taking a dig at Rahul’s Italian roots, he said, “Rahul Baba, I do not know Italian otherwise I would have told you how much we have done for the people.”The BJP president said that Modi government started 116 schemes for poor people and the Raje government has executed these schemes on the ground. He added that only a BJP chief minister can have the courage to go on a yatra to give people a report card of the government’s performance. He said Congress did nothing when it was in power for five decades.  It was Vasundhara Raje who brought the state out of ‘BIMARU’ category. Earlier, Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje asked people to stop voting out the party in power if they want development to continue. “If you want development, then change the trend of changing government every five years,” she said.The chief minister said that the Congress has only looted the country and divided people to rule.
