Taking a jibe at the ruling party in Rajasthan, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday said that the Congress party and the Gandhi family are Rahu and Ketu of India.

"The people of Rajasthan have leaked the Gehlot-led-Rajasthan government's paper. Congress is going on 3rd December and BJP is coming. Congress party and Gandhi family are Rahu and Ketu of India. All the troubles that have arisen in the future of India have happened only because of the Gandhi family and Congress," said Union Minister Amit Shah.

Recounting the momentous victory of the BJP in the 2019 Loksabha elections in the state, the Home Minister thanked the people of Rajasthan and said that due to their votes, things like moon landing and G-20 could have been achieved.

"Ever since you made Modi ji the Prime Minister by giving him twenty-five seats out of twenty-six and twenty-five. Modi ji promised to send the Indian tricolour to the moon with Chandrayaan. By hosting G 20, Narendra Modi did the work of raising the flag of India's diplomacy in the sky. Narendra Modi government made a new parliament building and made Kartavya Path. PM Modi raised the Indian economy from 11th place in the world in 2014 to 5th largest economy of the world," He added.

The Union Minister also reiterated the poll promises of the party. He said that once elected BJP government will increase the PM Kisan Nidhi from 6,000 to 12,000.

"We have decided that after our government is formed, PM Kisan Samman Nidhi, which is Rs 6,000, we will make it Rs 12,000. The BJP government will buy millet at MSP. The BJP will give gas cylinders for Rs 450. PM Modi has done so many development works," said Union Home Minister Amit Shah while addressing a public rally at Pali.

Addressing an election rally in Nasirabad, Amit Shah said, "These days, Rahul Gandhi is consistently speaking about OBC communities. All four generations of the Gandhi family, including Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, and now Rahul Gandhi himself, have been against the development of OBC."

Amit Shah criticised the Rajasthan government led by Ashok Gehlot, saying that he had never seen a more corrupt government in his lifetime.

"Rs 2.5 crore cash was found inside the secretariat. A good amount of gold was also recovered. I never witnessed such a corrupt government in my life. Once a BJP government is formed here which will have the vision of PM Modi, we will open an investigation and all these corrupt people will be punished," he said.

Rajasthan is gearing up for assembly polls scheduled for November 25, with vote counting set for December 3. Out of the 200 assembly seats, 199 will be contested on November 25, as the elections in the Karanpur constituency were postponed following the demise of Congress candidate Gurmeet Singh Koonar. In the 2018 elections, Congress secured 99 seats, while the BJP won 73. Gehlot assumed the position of Chief Minister with the support of BSP MLAs and Independents.
