Campaigning in Rajasthan for the coming Assembly election, BJP chief Amit Shah on Friday targeted Congress president Rahul Gandhi for raising the issue of bank loans and non-performing assets (NPA) in poll rallies. He said those were the results of the misdeeds of the previous Congress-led government.
“The loans given through corrupt practices during the Congress-led government have turned into NPAs. These are not loans given by the Narendra Modi government. These are the results of the misdeeds of the Congress government,” he said while addressing an election rally at Kuchaman city of Nagaur district.
Referring to a report carried by a leading daily on its front page in the morning, Shah alleged that the Nehru-Gandhi family’s son-in-law received commissions after a loan of thousands of crores of rupees was sanctioned to a big company. “A company got a loan of thousands of crores and its commission reached the Nehru family’s son-in-law within a few months, with which he bought 150 hectares of land in Bikaner at a throwaway price. I want to ask Rahul Gandhi if he can answer now,” he said.
