Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on Sept 20 hit back at union home minister Amit Shah, claiming that he was boasting about prime minister Narendra Modi’s record as Gujarat chief minister whereas a Niti Ayog report has revealed the reality.

In a post on X, Ramesh said, “In the initial part of his speech in the Lok Sabha Sept 20 evening, the home minister was waxing eloquent about the prime minister’s record as chief minister of Gujarat. Here’s the reality revealed by Niti Aayog data.”

He shared the post on X while replying to his own post dated Aug 19, claiming that over 38% of the population of Gujarat is under-nourished as per the report of Niti Aayog.

His remarks came after Shah during his speech on Women’s Reservation Bill in the Lok Sabha lauded Modi for his women-led initiatives ever since he became the chief minister of Gujarat and now as the prime minister.

“The passage of the Women’s Reservation Bill will mark the start of a new era, women’s security, respect and equal participation have been the life force of the government since prime minister Modi took the oath of office. He also presented the vision of women-led progress in the G20,” Shah said.
