With the Assembly polls round the corner in Gujarat, the war of words between the ruling BJP and the opposition Congress today hit a new low with the youth wing of the grand old party describing Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president Amit Shah as ‘Ranga-Billa’.
Addressing a public meeting, Indian Youth Congress chief Amarinder Singh Raja said that the ‘Ranga Billa won’t be able to able to form government in Gujarat this time’.
He warned the electorate that voting in favour of the BJP is equivalent to hanging their child.
“I am president of the Indian Youth Congress. I used to listen to Narendra Modi’s speeches… sometime he said ‘mitron’…. The kind of actor, magician and madari you have given to the nation from Gujarat.. I have given him a name – ‘chamatkari baba’. And the second fellow Amit Shah… their jodi is of ‘Ranga Billa’. This time ranga billa will not get majority to form government in Gujarat,” he said.
“Anybody among you if chooses to vote in favour of Narendra bhai Modi… he is going to hang his kids,” he added.
Gujarat Pradesh Congress Committee President Bharat Singh Solanki said that that “people now know what the BJP is… nationalist or terrorist’.
“Narendra Modi is following in the footsteps of Hitler whereas Rahul Gandhi believes in Mahatma Gandhi and Sardar Patel’s ideology,” he said.
