Nagaur, November 30: Bharatiya Janata Party president Amit Shah on Friday attacked the Congress chief Rahul Gandhi for supporting fraudster Nirav Modi and Vijay Mallya. He was of the opinion that Mallya and Modi had partnership with the Congress government and that is why they were given loans, but soon the BJP came to power they fled the country as they were scared of the Narendra Modi government.

Addressing an electoral rally at Karwasra in Naguar on Friday, the BJP president said the Union government will recover every pie of the looted money from the country. He said, “He (Rahul Gandhi) asks why did Nirav Modi and Mallya run away? These loans were lent during your tenure. They didn’t run away during Congress government as they had a partnership. But when Modi government came, they were afraid of being put behind bars.” Rajasthan Assembly Elections 2018: Congress Has No Leader, No Programme, Says Amit Shah at Public Meeting
