Amethi (UP), Oct. 10 (PTI): Bharatiya Janata Party president Amit Shah on Tuesday hit back at Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi for questioning what his party had done during its rule, saying it has “given a prime minister who speaks”. Shah also slammed Rahul for mocking Gujarat’s development, asking the Congress leader what three generations of his family had done for Amethi, considered the Nehru-Gandhi family bastion. I want to ask 'Shahzade' of Congress as to what your three generations have given to Amethi,” the BJP president said at a public meeting here. On Rahul Gandhi's repeated poser as to what the BJP had done, Shah said, “We have given a prime minister who speaks.” Shah did not take names but the obvious reference was to Manmohan Singh, the taciturn prime minister of two Congress led governments before Modi came to power. ”You have trusted a family for 60 years, now trust BJP and (Prime Minister Narendra) Modi and you will not feel betrayed,” Shah told the gathering in the presence of Union minister Smriti Irani and chief minister Yogi Adityanath.
