Congress leader Jairam Ramesh launched an attack on BJP saying, "BJP is issueless in Rajasthan. They have only three weapons - first is the use of ED, CBI to blame Congress leaders, the second is polarisation and the third is falsely accusing the Congress saying we are not serious about fighting terrorism, and that we are not taking steps to control crimes against women."

"In the last 5 years, incidents of rape have increased in Rajasthan. Here, ministers close to the CM stand in the Assembly House and protect to these criminals. When the daughters of Rajasthan were asking the state govt for security, the state govt was telling them to not level false allegations. Congress people don't have the time to look at the tears of the daughters," he added.

"The aim of making India developed is incomplete without making Rajasthan developed. But as long as the three enemies of the country - corruption, dynasty and appeasement - are amid us, it is difficult for this resolution to fulfill until then. Congress is the biggest symbol of these three evils," he added.
On Rajasthan Elections, Congress General Secretary in-charge Communications, Jairam Ramesh, says, "I will not get into the game of numbers, I will only say what I felt after meeting people. People are not upset with the current govt, they are happy with our schemes...The kind of feedback I have got, I can clearly say that we will be getting a clear majority and this is the reason we have named our manifesto as Jan Ghoshna Patra 2. This is because our first Ghoshna Patra came in 2018 and this is in continuation to the previous one..."
Congress MP Rahul Gandhi while addressing a public meeting in Vallabhnagar, Udaipur, said: "The question is, why is BJP spreading hatred in the country? I want to tell you two things, the reason for hatred is unemployment and inflation. The system of the BJP is taking away your attention from unemployment and inflation to hatred. The target of BJP and RSS is that the poor, labourers, farmers, tribals and Dalits be kept away from money. They want all the money to be given to a handful of billionaires..."

Background
Assembly Elections 2023 Live: Hello and welcome to the live blog of ABP Live. Please follow this space for all the latest updates on assembly polls in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, Telangana, and Mizoram.
Election to five states is nearing conclusion with ten days remaining and only two more states left to vote -- Rajasthan on Nov 25 and Telangana on Nov 30. The polls to the 230-member Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly were held on Friday along with the second phase of polling in Chhattisgarh for the remaining 70 seats.
The focus for the BJP and Congress has now shifted to Rajasthan with PM Narendra Modi and Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi, and Priyanka Gandhi pitching for their parties. While Congress has the task of saving its government, the BJP is eyeing another state in its kitty.
Rahul Gandhi on Sunday visited the party's war room in Rajasthan to oversee preparations for the Assembly elections. State Congress in-charge Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa was also present during his visit. Co-in-charge Amrita Dhawan said that Gandhi motivated the team present at the war room.
"Rahul Gandhi visited the war room and motivated the team," she said.
Meanwhile, JP Nadda addressed a public meeting at Chevella in Ranga Reddy, Telangana. He said, "PM Modi's politics is about fulfilling the needs of the people leading to their 'santushtikaran' (satisfaction) while the politics of incumbent BRS is about 'tushtikaran' (appeasement)."
Telangana Congress president Revanth Reddy on Sunday said, "...There is no need to discuss the BJP's manifesto because they do not have any stake here... The BRS manifesto and the BJP manifesto are one and the same... People here do not trust them... Whatever promises they made, they did not keep it... We look at the manifesto in the same way..."
The results of the elections will be declared on Dec 3.
