‘Rahul Gandhi lacks political maturity’, Amit Shah ‘agrees’ with Sheila Dikshit

Probably this is for the first time when BJP president Amit Shah has openly agreed with any leader from the Congress.

Lucknow, Feb 24: It's a bizarre situation, Bharatiya Janata Party president Amit Shah, who has been constantly criticising the Congress in every election rally in poll-bound Uttar Pradesh, has strangely decided to agree to a comment made by a senior leader of the opposition party.

In an interview to The Times of India, former chief minister of Delhi, Sheila Dikshit, has apparently said that Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi 'lacks political maturity'. Sensing opportunity in the statement made by Diskhit, BJP president told voters at a rally in Azamgarh, UP, on Friday, that everyone in India agrees with Sheila Ji's statement on Rahul.

"Sheila Ji everyone in India agrees with you. Rahul Gandhi is still not mature. But, why have you brought him to UP?" Shah asked.

Shah also said that Rahul should not ask questions to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, as the Congress did not do anything for the country in the last 60 years.

In an interview to The Times of India, the former Delhi CM said, "And please remember Rahul is still not mature, his age does not allow him to be mature. He is what... in his forties. Please give him time. Having said all this, Congress believes in development of the weak and marginalised. Rahul is the only one who has spoken about farmers."

However, as her statement created a lot of noise in the political circle of Delhi, Dikshit said that her words had been 'twisted'. Responding to media reports, Dikshit tweeted: ''Rahul has the sensitivity and concern of a mature leader. His words are those of a young, courageous and restless man.''
