Taking a jibe at Rahul Gandhi, BJP chief Amit Shah Tuesday said it was doubtful whether the Congress leader knows when Rabi and Kharif crops are grown and alleged the opposition party cannot protect farmers' interest. Addressing farmers at a function in Nagaur district of poll-bound Rajasthan, Shah also said the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi do not give slogans merely for elections and they know how to make them a reality.

He lauded Rajasthan for playing an important role in formation of the Modi government at the Centre with a huge majority. The BJP won all 25 Lok Sabha seats from the state in the 2014 general elections. Hailing the Rajasthan voters for giving a full majority to the BJP, Shah said there could have been a "dhulmul sarkar" (weak government) if Rajasthan had not given such a verdict.
