Amit Shah today said the single biggest achievement was providing a corruption-free government.
Attacking the opposition for accusing NDA of failing to keep its poll promises, BJP chief Amit Shah today said the single biggest achievement was providing a corruption-free government and slammed SP and BSP for having propped the Congress-led UPA dispensation for ten years.
Dubbing BSP and SP as "Kuaan aur Khaai" (deep sea and the devil) for the people of poll-bound Uttar Pradesh, he said the Congress and JD(U) leader and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar were "vote splitters".
On accusations by SP, BSP and Congress that the Modi government has failed to keep its poll promises, Mr Shah said no opposition party can ever level a single charge of corruption against the Narendra Modi government.
"Akhilesh babu (Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav), if you are listening...if your ears are open, then listen. What SP, BSP and Congress could not do in 70 years, we have done in two-and-a-half years," he said.
"Akhilesh babu and Behenji (BSP supremo Mayawati) seek report card from us every day. I will give you the list of achievements. For 10 years, SP and BSP have provided crutches to the Congress-led UPA at the centre. They are more responsible for the ills," he said at a workshop of party's IT cell workers here.
The BJP president's retort came in the wake of the UP chief minister, the BSP chief and Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi charging the Modi government with not fulfilling promises made by the party during the 2014 Lok Sabha elections like getting back black money from abroad and transferring Rs 15 lakh to each account holder in the country, besides providing employment and checking inflation.
Rattling off the schemes initiated by the Modi government, he said one could not read the names in one breath as almost every fortnight a new scheme was being launched.
"Earlier it used to be 'we will see', 'we will consider', 'we will do', ... do you know who used to speak like this?" he said without naming Congress Prime Minister late Rajiv Gandhi.
"These days Rahul baba, who is planning to embark on a yatra, has been harping on SP and BSP tune. He too asks what Modi government has done," Mr Shah said.
