  • Congress has more faith in Hinduism than BJP, claims Ashok Gehlot

    Congress has more faith in Hinduism than BJP, claims Ashok Gehlot

    Jaipur (IANS) Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has claimed that the Congress has more faith in Hinduism than the BJP. He said that we will not allow BJP to make Hindutva its agenda in Rajasthan. All religions, castes and classes will do politics together in the state.

    Chief Minister Gehlot, during a tour of the cyclone-hit Pali-Jalore districts on Wednesday, said that the Congress has more faith in Hinduism than the BJP. There are many people in the saffron party who have nothing to do with Hinduism. They have become Hindu just to do politics on the construction of Ram temple. Slowly, now their secrets are being revealed.

    Talking to the media, Gehlot said that his party has moved forward to serve the cows. He told that first of all we gave grant while serving the cows, but never asked for votes in its name. Despite doing very little for cows, the BJP openly seeks votes in the name of ‘Gaumata’.

    Responding to the Chief Minister’s allegations, BJP State President CP Joshi said that by making such statements, Gehlot wanted to divert attention from the incident of gang-rape of a Dalit girl in Khajuwala, Bikaner. Right now the victim’s family needs justice.

    Why doesn’t the chief even care about this barbaric incident? They just want to divert the attention of the people from this, but the people of the state know everything. BJP will give a befitting reply to this at the appropriate time.

    Targeting Priyanka Gandhi, BJP state president C.P. Joshi said that the Congress leader used to repeatedly say ‘ladki hoon ladh sakti hoon’, it is time she should come to Rajasthan, as women atrocities are at its peak in the state.

    He said that Rajasthan is nothing more than a tourist destination for Priyanka. Ashok Gehlot should introduce Priyanka Gandhi to the affected families.

    A Rajasthan minister said, Pilot has no intention of leaving the Congress

    Jaipur (IANS) | In Rajasthan, Minister Murari Lal Meena has rejected the speculation of Sachin Pilot forming a separate party, calling it baseless. Meena said that Sachin Pilot has no intention of leaving the Congress. He said, we are all soldiers of the Congress party. Two leaders (Gehlot and Pilot) have met the party high command. We all will fight together.

    Meena is from the Pilot camp and was with them in Manesar during the 2020 rebellion.

    He said, every year on June 11, we all pay tribute to Rajesh Pilot on his death anniversary. He was a farmer leader. Every year a condolence meeting is organized and this year will be the same. He also said that the speculation about Pilot forming another party is baseless.

    It is being speculated that on June 11, the pilots will form their own separate party.

    However, these are just speculations and have not been confirmed by the pilot himself or anyone from his camp. It is certain that the supporters of Pilot are now eyeing the next step of their leader.

    Till now, it is seen that Gehlot and his team have ignored Pilot and his demands, so we are also watching what steps our leaders take. This is because elections are due in the next six months and we need to decide our ground.

    Meanwhile, another leader said that if Gehlot and Pilot contest the elections together, the Congress government will be formed. He said, Gehlot has made such schemes, which are being liked by every section.
