In Rajasthan, Priyanka Gandhi Says BJP 'Fragmented' While Congress 'United'

Rajasthan Polls: Priyanka Gandhi asserted that the BJP has sidelined its leaders in Rajasthan and is looking for a new face.

Rajasthan Elections 2023: Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Monday slammed the BJP saying that the saffron party is "fragmented" in the state while her party has put up a united front. She said those who seek votes in the name of religion or caste are not in a position to ask for votes on the basis of their work. She was addressing a rally in Kekdi in poll-bound Rajasthan's Ajmer.

She urged people to vote after assessing the work done by different parties, reported PTI. "If someone asks for votes in the name of religion or caste, it means he can't seek votes on the basis of work," the Congress leader said.

"In Rajasthan, all Congress leaders and workers have entered the electoral battlefield unitedly, whereas the BJP is completely fragmented," she added, claiming that the BJP has sidelined its leaders in the state and is searching for someone new.

Priyanka said BJP's policy is to benefit big industrialists and it does not "think about the poor and middle class". She said it BJP will discontinue all public welfare schemes started by the Congress government if it comes to power. 

Addressing another rally in the poll-bound state, Priyanka said BJP  has its government in Madhya Pradesh for the last 18 years, but "they do not talk about any of their work there."

"After all, why don't BJP leaders ask for votes at work? The Congress government of Rajasthan has provided employment to 2 lakh people in just 5 years and has announced to provide 1 lakh employment. We are asking for your votes on the basis of the work done by the Congress government in the last 5 years," she said.

 

Voting for the 200-member Rajasthan Assembly will be held on November 25 and the counting will be done on December 3.
