BJP president J P Nadda arrived in Jaipur on Sunday to launch the party’s “Nahi Sahega Rajasthan” campaign against the Congress government. Nadda launched the party’s poll campaign, Nahi Sahega Rajasthan, to oust the Congress from power. Assembly elections are due in the state by the year’s end.
This campaign will be run in the entire state. Nadda launched the campaign and a theme video that highlights crime against women, the murder of Kanhaiya Lal in Udaipur, communal riots, and other issues. He also released a “Fail Card” for the Congress-led state government.
BJP president J P Nadda charged on Sunday that the UPA of Congress stands for “utpidan, pakshpat, and atyachar—oppression, favouritism, and atrocities—and that the party has no right to be in power in Rajasthan even for a minute.
Addressing a rally after launching the BJP’s “Nahi Sahega Rajasthan” campaign against the Congress government, he charged that the Ashok Gehlot government is setting new records of corruption. He targeted the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) led by the Congress and said, The UPA of Congress stands for ‘utpidan, pakshpat, and atyachar’.”
“Whereas the NDA (National Democratic Alliance) government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi is working with the mantra of ‘sabka saath, sabka vikas, sabka vishwas, and sabka prayas’,” he said. He targeted the state government, saying that it loots and tortures people and has broken all records of atrocities against Dalits, tribals, women, children, and the poor.
BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla on Sunday attacked the Rajasthan government over recruitment paper leak incidents and the arrest of a former Congress leader for allegedly taking a bribe to help a candidate clear a competitive exam. Those behind paper leaks in the state are given patronage by the Congress government, he charged.
On Kesawat’s arrest, Poonawalla said, “He was caught red-handed while taking a bribe. This proves that the paper leaks in Rajasthan are state-sponsored. Today it is also being heard that to save the main accused in the paper leak nexus, lawyers close to the first family are being sent by Delhi,” the BJP leader said in a veiled attack on the Gandhi family.
Poonawalla claimed Kesawat ‘is a tall leader of the Rajasthan Congress’. “He is known to be close to (Chief Minister) Ashok Gehlot and held the status of a state minister. He was also seen in close proximity with Rahul Gandhi during the Bharat Jodo Yatra,” he charged.
