Amit Shah mocks ‘failed’ attempts to launch Rahul; says Uddhav’s Hindutva compromised

The Hindu  

Union Home Minister Amit Shah lambasted Congress MP Rahul Gandhi and his ally in the INDIA bloc Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray in a campaign speech on Monday. He said Mr. Gandhi could never have launched India’s lunar mission Chandrayaan-3 given that his party had failed to launch him as party leader despite several attempts. Addressing rallies in Dhule and Palghar Lok Sabha constituencies, he claimed that no less than 20 futile attempts were made by the Congress to “launch and re-launch” Mr. Gandhi as party leader. “Rahul Gandhi and the Congress opposed the abrogation of Article 370 because they believe in appeasement politics… I want to ask Uddhav Thackeray if he has a bit of morality left, to tell the people of Maharashtra whether Article 370 should have been removed or not,” Mr. Shah said.
