BJP will form governments in Rajasthan, says PM
Predicting that the BJP will form governments in Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday asserted that his party will make the desert state a leader in investments and industry while claiming that under the incumbent Congress government, the state has turned “number one in crime” and “number one in corruption.
As the campaigning ended for the 200-member Rajasthan Assembly elections scheduled for November 25, the Prime Minister reiterated that “where the hope from the Congress ends, Modi’s guarantee begins”. Sharpening his attack on the Ashok Gehlot-led government in Rajasthan, Mr Modi alleged that “be it water, the sky or land, the claws of the Congress do only one thing — loot”.
Addressing a poll rally in Rajsamand, Mr Modi once again raised the Sachin Pilot issue amidst the ongoing tussle between the former deputy CM and chief minister Ashok Gehlot. He said: “A Gurjar’s son struggles to make his place in politics, gives his life to the party and after coming to power, the royal family removes him like a fly in milk.”
“They did the same with late Rajesh Pilot and are doing the same with his son,” he said, alleging that the Congress is “insulting” Gurjars now and had insulted the community in the past too.
