For Cong, OROP means 'only Rahul, only Priyanka': Shah's jibe; Omar also takes a swipe at BJP

BJP chief Amit Shah Monday said for the Congress OROP means 'only Rahul, only Priyanka', using the acronym for 'one rank, one pension' scheme for military personnel to take a jibe at the Congress.

Shah hurled the jibe at the Congress days after party president Rahul Gandhi's sister Priyanka Gandhi was inducted as the opposition party's general secretary for eastern Uttar Pradesh.

The BJP president was addressing a "BJP Panna Pramuk Sammelan" at Hamirpur, also known as "Martyrs' Land" in Himachal Pradesh owing to a significant number of people from the district and adjoining areas joining the Army.

Thanking Himachal Pradesh voters for ensuring victory of BJP candidates in all the four Lok Sabha seats in the hill state during the 2014 general elections, Shah said, "The Modi government implemented OROP for ex-servicemen in true sense."
In his address to BJP workers ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, Shah said, "Desh ek Majboot Sarkar chahta hai, majboor sarkar nahi. (The country wants a strong government not a weak and hapless one)."
Without naming former Himachal Pradesh chief minister Virbhadra Singh and his family members, Shah said, "No one else except raja, rani and rajkumar was given importance during the five-year term of the previous Congress government in the state."
