New Delhi: Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Tuesday targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi for saying the 'Congress government sympathizes with terrorists and will ruin the state'. Gehlot said if the Congress government had supported terrorists, then the Centre should have dismissed the state government by now.
He further stated that there is no anti-incumbency in the state adding his government has done a good job and was coming back to power.
"There is no anti-incumbency wave. The government has done a good job. Seeing the atmosphere, I can say that the government will repeat... We have given good governance and provided water, electricity, education, health and road connectivity. The law and order situation is better in Rajasthan...PM (Modi) said that the Congress government sympathizes with terrorists and will ruin the state. If our government supports terrorists, then why is the Center not dismissing our government? They have the authority to do so. There is no truth to these allegations and you are merely inciting people during elections," Gehlot told ANI.

He also challenged PM Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and other BJP leaders to speak on the work done by his government instead of talking about religion in election rallies.
Gehlot accused the opposition party's leaders of doing politics in the name of religion and said that Congress was fighting the electoral battle on development and welfare of the people.
"BJP leaders come and say provocative things in their speeches in the name of religion. They impose their agenda in the name of religion which is not a good tradition," he said at Jaipur's Albert Hall, reported news agency PTI.
"I challenge them to speak on our schemes and programmes and the performance of the government instead of doing politics in the name of religion... If they have something to criticise our development works with, they should do it but it is not a good thing to do provocative things," Gehlot added.
