There is no competition to PM in Varanasi: Amit Shah
Addressing the BJP workers of Varanasi constituency in Motijheel, Shah said that PM Modi's popularity is the best among 542 MPs. He has no competition with anyone.
Ahead of the Union Budget which is likely to be presented on February 1 by the BJP government, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi took a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s consultations on January 9 with economists and industry leaders ahead of the Annual Budget.
Gandhi took to Twitter on Friday and accused the Modi government of not being interested in the common man’s problems.
Gandhi in his tweet said, “Most extensive budget consultation ever, is reserved for crony capitalist friends & the super rich. He has no interest in the views or voices of our farmers, students, youth, women, govt & PSU employees, small businessmen or middle class tax payers.”
