Madhya Pradesh, November 19: BJP President Amit Shah while addressing people at a political in Narsinghpur, Madhya Pradesh said, "Rahul has developed Modi phobia. He keeps on saying Modi, Modi in his speeches. Rahul wants to remove Modi, while we want to remove poverty, unemployment and illiteracy from the country." Congress More of a ‘Family Enterprise’ Than Political Party: Amit Shah at Poll Rally in Chhattisgarh.

Amit Shah on Sunday said the Congress had become more of a family enterprise aimed at dynastic service than a political party aimed at public service, taking potshots at the opposition party after Prime Minister Narendra Modi dared it to appoint a head from outside the Gandhi family. In a dig at Congress leaders, including P Chidambaram who had named several party presidents hailing from outside the Gandhi family, Shah said in tweets that Modi's challenge had ruffled several feathers with "many courtiers going out of the way to prove their loyalty".

At a political rally in Chhattisgarh on Friday, Modi had said if the Congress appointed someone who was not from the (Gandhi) family as its president for at least five years, then he would believe that Jawaharlal Nehru had indeed put in place a truly democratic system in the opposition party.
