BJP president Amit Shah at India TV's Chunav Manch

Amit Shah today hit out at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and cautioned him for invoking the legacy of Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel in his poll campaign.

Amit Shah alleged that the Congress insulted Sardar Patel during his lifetime, prevented him from becoming PM, and did not allow ministers to attend his funeral.

The BJP president said that even the Sardar Sarovar dam project was put on hold by the Congress because it had its name. It was really vindictive.

On GST, Amit Shah said that the GST was the world's largest tax system that is being implemented, and teething problems are being ironed out.

Amit Shah said that already the GST Council has addressed most of the grievances of traders, exporters and consumers, and officials have fanned out across the country to talk to traders about their problems.

On the criminal defamation suit filed by his son Jay Shah against a media website, the BJP chief hit out at Rahul Gandhi, saying he does not know the difference between turnover and profit.

Amit Shah claimed that the BJP would get "three-fourth majority" in Gujarat this time, and "will form a government under the leadership of Vijay Rupani".
