Nadiad/New Delhi,
The Congress today went all out to attack Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his silence on the issue of business dealings involving BJP chief Amit Shah’s son and demanded a probe into the matter. The party said Amit Shah should resign as the BJP chief pending the investigation.

Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi led the attack against Modi asking whether the PM was a “watchman or partner in the soaring fortunes of Amit Shah’s son Jay Shah”. Rahul attacked Shah at a poll rally in Gujarat asking how the business fortunes of Jay Shah soared to coincide with Modi’s rise at the Centre, starting 2014.

Beginning second phase of his campaign in Gujarat, Rahul sought answers from Modi and Shah on the “surprising growth” of business of Jay Shah after the Modi government came to power, and more pertinently after the demonetisation of high currency notes last year. “Now we know who benefited from demonetisation, not you or me, but it was Jay Shah,” he said.

Attacking the BJP, he said, “BJP governments never ask you what you want, but decide things on your behalf—whether you like it or not. The Congress governments, on the other hand, always want to know from the people what they want and then decide. That is real development,” he said.
