    Congress aave chhe? More like Congress jae chhe in Gujarat, says Amit Shah

    Attacking the Congress' Gujarat agenda, Amit Shah said, "The Congress has been shouting for the last three months that 'Congress aave chhe' (Congress is coming in Gujarat), while today, the people of Uttar Pradesh said 'Congress jae chhe' (Congress is going)," he said.

    "The Congress' loss is such that the BJP won all the municipal corporation seats even in (Congress vice president) Rahul baba's (Gandhi's) Amethi constituency," he said, adding, "Whatever has happened in Uttar Pradesh today is nothing compared to what is going to happen in Gujarat on December 18. After the (vote) counting on December 18, the BJP will emerge victorious and form the government with 150 seats."

    Shah attacked the Congress over the GDP data, saying that its leaders had fallen silent after the new GDP figures were announced.
