The Election Commission of India announced the dates for the upcoming assembly elections. In this regard, BJP State President CP Joshi, Leader of Opposition Rajendra Singh Rathore and Deputy Leader of Opposition Satish Poonia addressed the press conference at BJP State Headquarters.
While addressing the press conference, BJP state president CP Joshi said that the public was waiting for the election date. He said, “The public counted each day, people were so distressed. The public has made up its mind to form a double-engine government in Rajasthan. The state Congress government had sought suggestions from the public in the name of Vision 2030, in response to which the public told the Gehlot government to relax now that the public has made up its mind to elect BJP.”
BJP State President said that the public gave full blessings to the Jan Akrosh Yatra, Rajasthan Nahi Sehega Abhiyan and Parivartan Sankalp Yatra taken out by BJP in the state and all these yatras became people’s yatras. He added, “In the last election, we were deprived of serving the public by a margin of just 1.5 lakh votes, but this time the public has made up its mind to overthrow the corrupt Congress government. The fight for the chair continued for the entire five years of the Congress government and the people of the state continued to suffer. Now after the implementation of the code of conduct, the field is open, and the people of the state are ready to teach a lesson to Congress in this electoral battle.”
Leader of Opposition Rajendra Singh Rathore said, “By voting, we will have to honour this demon government. Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot’s efforts to glorify his image through advertisements worth Rs 2000 crores which were released in the last 4 months under the direction of Design Box owner Naresh Arora, will stop from today.”
Targetting the new and urgent appointments by CM Gehlot in RPSC and RSSB, Rathore added, “On one hand, a code of conduct was being followed, on the other hand, many mines were being allotted in full swing since last night in the Secretariat, and transfers were being made somewhere else. The limit was reached when Chief Minister Gehlot recommended Kesari Singh along with his OSD to the constitutional body Public Service Commission. Dr. Sanjay Poswal is recommended by the Staff Selection Board, I think this type of action proves that the head of the government has realized that his departure is certain, and while leaving he should reward his trusted people and go away.”
He also slammed Congress for the caste census decision and said, “The way caste census was talked about in Rajasthan, but there was no spirit of it, Congress kept misleading the public in the name of unrestrained announcements on the lines of “Thotha Chana Baje Ghana”. “ While addressing the press conference, Deputy Leader of Opposition Satish Poonia said, “People were curious as to when the election dates would be announced, today it has been announced that voting will be held in the state on the auspicious day Devuthani Gyaras, and counting of votes will take place on December 3. In this election, the public is agitated about loan waivers of farmers, auction of lands, their depression and suicide, paper leaks and unemployment which is the highest. 11 lakh cases in a peaceful state, this is a hallmark of the work of the Home Minister of the government.”
