Oppn climbing same tree like rats, snakes in flood: Shah

BJP chief Amit Shah on Sunday launched a shrill attack on opposition parties, saying they were climbing “the same tree like rats, cats and snakes” to escape the demonetisation “flood” and appealed to people to give 15 years to PM Narendra Modi “from panchayat to parliament” to change the country.

Addressing BJP’s booth workers here, Shah especially targeted Rahul Gandhi for opposing demonetisation, saying he is not surprised by the reaction of the Congress vice-president as his party’s rule during UPA I and II was “synonymous with scams”.

The scourge of black money in the country had become a cancer which needed a surgery, Shah said on demonetisation, adding “after the operation, one has to tolerate some pain, but rest of the life will be healthy.” 

Tearing into the opposition, the BJP chief said the parties who were questioning the government as to what steps it had taken against black money, were “crying hoarse” after the November 8 demonetisation decision.
