Congress launches scathing attack on BJP over Amit shah

The Congress has continued attacking BJP and its prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi over his key aide and former Gujarat Home Minister Amit Shah’s alleged ‘snooping’ on a woman made by Cobrapost-Gulail report.

The repost claims that Amit Shah ordered police supervision of a woman in Bangalore in 2009 by on the orders of a ‘saheb’.

Congress asked Shah to reveal ‘Saheb’s name.

“If surveillance is being mounted in such a way then this amounts to breach of privacy. Are people ok if their mothers and daughters are being snooped upon by the state machinery,” Information and Broadcasting Minister Manish Tewari said.

Congress spokesperson Rita Bahuguna Joshi demanded judicial probe headed by sitting Supreme Court judge.

JDU also comes out in support of Congress and attacked BJP.

“BJP demands high-level enquiry and resignations in every case. Saheb is Modi himself, the matter should be probed and Modi should step down till the report of the enquiry comes out,” JDU leader KC Tyagi said.

Reacting to Manish Tewari’s allegation BJP strongly counter attacked Congress.  

BJP spokesperson Meenakshi Lekhi said, “I would like to put Manish in the shoes of a father protecting his daughter, then he wouldn’t be able to speak this kind of language.”

“Tewari’s speech is incoherent. The Congress has gone public with information that damages this woman’s integrity. This is how the government, the Congress, and their surrogates function. In the garb of protecting the woman, they are actually harming her,” Meenakshi added.

“I don’t think they care for Amit Shah, they are targeting Modi. These are all cooked up stories with innuendos, it should be left to people like Manish Tewari and Kapil Sibal who try to gain oplitical mileage from a person’s private life,” she further said.  

Modi too ask Congress to stop lying and talk on development issues.

“I would like to tell Manhoman Singh, Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi (shehzade) that they should compete with us on basis of development. They cannot compete with the BJP with power and lies.”
