Who deserves credit for Mission Shakti, Modi govt or scientists?

A war of words erupted on Wednesday between Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief Amit Shah and Congress chief Rahul Gandhi after India successfully tested its anti-satellite missile A-SAT.

Gandhi congratulated DRDO scientists over India demonstrating anti-satellite capabilities but took potshots at PM Modi for, what they said, making a pitch of it in the poll season, and wished him "happy World Theatre Day".

Shah hit back at Gandhi for ridiculing the achievements of the scientists, saying all that the "dynasty" has done is to plunder, weaken and ruin the nation.
