Singh (Dhanbad) and Bidyut Baran Mahto (Jamshedpur) are fighting anti-incumbency, which may have caused Shah to amp up the shrill rhetoric of the campaigns in the scorching summer. He said after India’s Balakot attack, a pall of gloom hung over Pakistan and Rahul Gandhi also had a long face (Rahul baba ka chehra latka hua tha). He claimed that when their (BJP) government brought the NRC (National Register of Citizens) in Assam, Rahul and his supporters raised a hue and cry in Rajya Sabha. “Rahul aur Hemant aatankhvadiyon ke saath ILU ILU kare hamen koi matlab nahin (We don’t care if Rahul Gandhi and Hemant Soren say ILU to terrorists)”, he added, referring to the song in the old film Saudagar where ILU was shorthand for I love you. “He may look like a simple man, but has raised a lot of questions for his constituency in Parliament.”
