With Rahul Gandhi away on a foreign trip as the Congress and its allies protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, Home Minister Amit Shah took a fresh swipe at the Leader of Opposition, predicting that his party would remain out of power for the next three decades.
Speaking after launching projects worth Rs 8,941 crore for cleaning the Yamuna, Shah took a dig at Gandhi's overseas visit. The Congress MP is reportedly on a four-day trip to Vietnam.
"I know you can't hear me, you're sitting somewhere abroad. You don't even explain why, but that's okay, that's your personal life... But once you land in Delhi, listen to me; your turn won't come for the next thirty years," Shah said.
Gandhi’s Vietnam getaway comes amid nationwide protests by the INDIA bloc and the Cockroach janta Party against alleged irregularities in the SIR exercise and Gyanesh Kumar's alleged role in them. As in the past, the BJP was quick to take potshots at him over his foreign trip.
