BJP president Amit Shah on Friday tweeted that "there is only one place for idiocy and it's called the Congress" attacking Congress for its alleged support to Maoists, fake activists and corrupt elements.
Amit Shah's response came out after the Supreme Court refused to interfere with the arrest of five rights activists by the Maharashtra Police in connection with the Koregaon-Bhima violence case and declined to appoint a SIT to probe their arrest.
There is only one place for idiocy and it's called the Congress. Support Bharat Ke Tukde Tukde Gang’, Maoists, fake activists and corrupt elements. Defame all those who are honest and working.

"There is only one place for idiocy and it's called the Congress. Support 'Bharat Ke Tukde Tukde Gang' (break India gang), Maoists, fake activists and corrupt elements. Defame all those who are honest and working. Welcome to Rahul Gandhi’s Congress," he said in a tweet.
He posted the tweet in response to a tweet posted by Congress president Rahul Gandhi on August 28.
Gandhi had said following the arrests that there is place for only one NGO in India and it's called the RSS.
"Shut down all other NGOs. Jail all activists and shoot those that complain. Welcome to the new India," he had said.

A three-judge bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra, in a 2:1 verdict, Friday refused the plea seeking the immediate release of the activists.
