Prove that Gujarat leads rank in any sector, Kapil Sibal challenges Amit Shah

“He (PM Modi) has not spoken about his vision for India because he doesn’t know what his vision really is. Governance does not mean you reach France and place orders for Rafales across the table,” said Sibal in reference to PM Modi's vision for betterment of the nation.

The congress leader also stated that Modi is the first Prime Minister in the country’s history who never held a press conference, claiming that he lacks the ability to answer questions that are raised to him. Talking of demonetisation, he said that it was akin to buying Rafales. “Most decisions taken by PM Modi are without thought; demonetisation, purchase of Rafales, GST,” Sibal remarked.
