"Modiji, bataao! Aapne chaar saal mein kya kiya? (Modiji, tell us. What did you do in four years?)"

Earlier tonight, voters attending a rally in Karnataka's Bidar heard these words. They were delivered in a style reminiscent of Rahul Gandhi's oratory.

But the man on stage wasn't the Congress president.

He wore a scarf of saffron emblazoned with lotuses.

It was Amit Shah.

After mimicking the leader of his party's political arch-rival, the BJP president had some advice for Gandhi.

"Rahulji, you should not shout so much. You are asking what we (BJP) and PM Modi did since the last 4 years? The whole country is asking you about what your previous four generations did," he said.

Asian News International published a clip from Amit Shah's speech on its Twitter page.

Both the BJP and the Congress are gearing up for a battle royale in the Karnataka assembly election, which is just months away.

The southern state is one of two large states that the Congress still governs.

A confident Chief Minister Siddaramiah has told India Today that his party will be voter back to power with a full majority.
