Earthquake remark: Rajnath Singh's potshot at Rahul Gandhi, says 'he can't even make the wind blow'

Haridwar: Slamming Rahul Gandhi over his 'earthquake' remark, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday said that the Congress vice-president cannot even make the wind blow and he talks about causing an earthquake in parliament with his take on demonetisation.

"He said that if he will speak, then an earthquake would occur but he cannot even make the wind blow," Rajnath Singh said today. 

He further said that the BJP will always stand by common people at the time of difficulty.

"Decision like demonetisation can be taken only by a courageous person with long-term vision," he said adding that the situation would become normal in one month.

"We need to take some difficult and rigid decisions in a bid to make India economically sound," Singh added while addressing a public rally in Haridwar. 

Rahul had on Friday threatened the government that if he speaks on the demonetisation issue in the parliament, then the ruling regime would be hit by an earthquake.
