Amit Shah says ‘Rahul Gandhi is misguiding farmers, we will double their income by 2022’ 

Amit Shah.

The BJP chief, Amit Shah, on Saturday, claimed that the Congress president, Rahul Gandhi, was “misguiding farmers in the name of loan waiver” and that the previous Congress-led UPA government, formed with the support of “bua-bhatija” (“aunt-nephew” meaning Akhilesh-Mayawati), had left the Indian economy at the ninth position globally, while within five years Prime Minister Narendra Modi brought it to the sixth position.

While addressing the party’s “Sahkarita Bandhu Sammelan” at Lucknow’s Dr Ram Manohar Lohia National Law University, Shah said the development of Gujarat, witnessed by the world, had “cooperative revolution” at its base. He added that Uttar Pradesh was the state with “maximum cooperative potential”.

Launching a scathing attack at Congress chief Rahul Gandhi, Shah said, “The Narendra Modi government is the only government that brought in scientific ways to make the development of farmers inclusive and to double farmers’ income … Rahul Baba used to make fun by saying that doubling farmers’ income is not a joke. But … we are going to double farmers income by 2022.”
