When the Congress government was in power at the Centre, Rajasthan was given Rs 1 lakh crore. "When Narendra Modi became prime minister, he gave Rs 2, 63, 000 crore to Rajasthan," says BJP chief Amit Shah.
"He (Rahul Gandhi) asks why did Nirav Modi and (Vijay) Mallya run away? These loans were lent during your tenure. They didn't run away during Congress government as they had a partnership. But when PM Modi's government came, they were afraid of being put behind bars," he adds.
"Today the front page of Indian Express says that a company got a loan of thousands of crores and its commission reached Nehru family's son-in-law with which he bought 150 hectares of land. I want to ask Rahul Gandhi if he can answer now," Amit Shah asks.
There is no internal democracy in Congress, the BJP chief says in Nagaur.
"It has become Gandhi-Nehru family's private firm. These people (Congress) feel ashamed saying "Bharat Mata Ki Jai" but feel proud of Sonia (Gandhi) mother," he says.
"I know Nagaur will set the foundation stone for BJP's government formation in Rajasthan," says Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Amit Shah.
"Rahul Baba you should not dream during day-time. Pick up and check the electoral history of this country since the time Narendra Modi took over as Prime Minister, and you will know what the outcome of Rajasthan will be," he adds.
