"There was a situation of policy paralysis (in the country). Not a single decision was taken. It was not known actually from where the government was running...Whether it was running from Soniaji's house or from prime minister's house or from Rahul Baba's house," Shah said while addressing a rally of BJP workers in the city.
Shah's offensive came after Prime Minister Narendra Modi today implied in an interview to PTI that Sonia had been an "unconstitutional" authority exercising "real" power over the PMO during the UPA rule.
Listing out achievements of the BJP-led NDA government in last one year, Shah said every minister now works independently. "We have also restored the dignity of the Prime Minister's post," he added.
Taking potshots at Congress, Shah said there should not be various power centres in democracy. "BJP believes in that and we have done that," he said.
"We had promised people to give them a corruption-free government and we have delivered that. We have also controlled rise in prices. The Congress people who came to power with the promise of uprooting the price rise in 100 days could not even shake it for ten years (of their rule)," the BJP chief said.
