Claiming that the BJP government has ended the days of law and order problems, BJP president Amit Shah on Monday said that his party has freed Gujarat of the Congress and its goons.

Launching the second leg of Gaurav Yatra in Porbandar, the birthplace of Mahatma Gandhi on the occasion of his birth anniversary, Shah said: “People have seen the time when the law and order would end with the border of Porbandar. Names of goons and gangsters like Mamu Miyan, Punju Miyan, Ijju Shaikh and Latif were known. Congress gave communal riots and curfews. But the BJP’s rule in the past two decades brought an end to this… We cleaned up the state of Congress and its goons. We freed Gujarat from curfew.”

He said Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi “could not

see any of this. He still asks what we have done in these three years.”

Alluding to Sonia Gandhi’s Italian origins, he said: “Rahul can’t see it because he is wearing Italian glasses. To be able to see the development, he needs to remove those spectacles and wear Gujarati glasses.”

Shah also criticised Rahul’s recent US trip . “… If you are dreaming of winning polls, you cannot go for a vacation to the US. To win the polls, you need to remain with the people of Gujarat,” Shah said.
