Prime Minister Narendra Modi has urged the people of Rajasthan to dethrone the Congress party and install the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as the state's administration in the approaching Assembly election, news agency ANI reported. Voting in the state is set for November 25, with the results scheduled to be announced on December 3.
Highlighting the internal conflict withing Congress party, PM Modi said: "Delhi durbar was busy in snatching away the chair of their own CM and the CM was busy in tackling them. They left the people of Rajasthan on their own. Now, when elections are here, they are getting pictures clicked together half-heartedly...'Haath milan' event takes place here again and again."
PM Modi pointed out at the internal tussle between CM Ashok Gehlot, and Sachin Pilot, and said: "CM, the CM-in-waiting and other big leaders from Delhi come, they call camerapersons and then make them shake hands. They have made a century of handshake in 5 years. But no 'milaap' has taken place. There is sourness in their hearts but they shake hands as a sham. People say that there were a total of 100 CMs in Rajasthan. Every goon, every muscleman, every rioter considered themselves no less than the CM of Rajasthan."
On one side is Congress with a licence to pillage, and on the other is Modi's assurance that the public trusts him, the PM stated.
Urging people to vote for BJP, PM Modi said: "You have started the countdown for the farewell of Congress from Rajasthan. In Rajasthan, Congress did not give you anything in five years, except betrayal. Congress gave you a government of misgovernance here, it gave you a government of corruption and scam - where the lives of common people is not safe, where the honour of women is not safe. Congress has brought Rajasthan to that stage. But it is said, "Jubaan par din mein ek-adh baar Saraswati aa jati hao."
He further stated: "When that happens, you speak the truth. Recently, the same thing happened with your 'magician' CM. At a public rally, he admitted that his candidates and MLAs did nothing because they were all busy in saving their chairs. What will such Congress do for you?"
