BJP leader Amit Shah today demanded an inquiry into allegations linking Congress candidate Ajay Rai, who is pitted against BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi in Varanasi, to illegal gun trade.
“I want to ask Congress that a few days back, attributing to secret reports, a news channel said that Ajay Rai’s name was linked to AK 47 trade. I demand an inquiry into it,” Shah told reporters here.
“I want to ask Congress that why it was silent on the issue for the past three days. Neither Sonia nor Rahul is speaking on the issue. They should react and clarify Congress’ stand on this issue,” he added.
Shah said that the people of the country have decided to bring a change at the Centre.
He alleged that the Congress was left with no meaningful issues and even its top leaders, instead of telling people about their government’s achievements, were concentrating on levelling personal allegations
“Congress vice—president Rahul Gandhi appeals for security for women and rooting out corruption. I want to ask that you have been in power for the last 10 years, why all this was not done,” he said.
“Why are the people of the country disappointed. The Centre’s position was laughable on the issues of security of the borders and foreign policy, but no Congress leader is answering,” he said.
Shah said that Modi would file his nomination papers on April 24 after which the “BJP wave would turn into a tsunami”.
