‘Rahul Baba…’: Amit Shah Takes a Dig at Congress MP Over MSP, Asks if He Knows Full Form

Rewari: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday took a dig at Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi , asking if he knows the full form of MSP after he underlined that the BJP in Haryana will procure 24 crops at the minimum support price. 

Addressing a poll rally, Shah said, “Rahul baba, do you know full form of MSP. Which crop is of Kharif, which one is of Rabi, do you know.”

He also attacked Congress on the issues of 'corruption and reservation.

Slamming the Congress on farmers' issues, he said some NGO has told Rahul 'baba' that by saying MSP (minimum support price) he will get votes.

"Let Congress leaders in Haryana tell which Congress-ruled state procures as many crops," he added.

"How many crops bought at MSP in Karnataka and Telangana," Shah asked.

During Congress rule, paddy was procured at Rs 1,300 per quintal, now it is Rs 2300 and if you elect the BJP government in Haryana , we will procure paddy at Rs 3,100 (per quintal), he said.

Further attacking the Congress , Shah said it was the Narendra Modi government which fulfilled the long pending demand for One Rank One Pension.

Shah said the BJP undertook equitable development in Haryana and corruption has finished in the last 10 years.

" Congress governments used to run on the basis of cut, commission and corruption while dealers, dalals (middlemen) and 'damads' used to rule. Under BJP government, there are no dealers, 'dalals' while there is no question of 'damad'," the senior BJP leader said.

Haryana goes to polls on October 5 and the results will be declared on October 8.
