Bharatiya Janata Party, National President JP Nadda slammed Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and accused the Congress government in Rajasthan of committing an old age pension scam of Rs 450 crore and alleged that the state has recorded the highest number of rapes.
“Rajasthan has the highest number of rapes according to National Crime Record Bureau (NCRB). Women were harassed here. Alwar incident, Pratapgarh incident, Churu incident, Bhilwara incident and just now the incident in Dausa, such kind of incident has happened that I cannot even speak from this platform,” JP Nadda said while addressing a rally in Rajsamand in Rajasthan on Monday.
Alleging the Gehlot government of corruption, Nadda listed out the failures of the Congress government, he said, “Congress had said that they would waive off the loans of the farmers but today 19,400 farmers are sitting with their lands confiscated. Gehlot government committed old age pension scam of Rs 450 crore. Ashok Gehlot’s brother exported subsidized fertilizer. Gehlot’s family took a government contract worth Rs 11 thousand crores and filled their houses. These are the people who are breaking the records of corruption.”
JP Nadda further said, “The Gehlot government was only saving its chair during their 5 years tenure…sometime Sachin and sometime Gehlot.”
“Congress had committed Pandupi scam. A helicopter scam was committed. They did the 2G scam, CWG scam, coal scam, and rice scam. They neither left the sky nor the land. For 5 years, the Gehlot government did only one thing, to save its chair. Sometimes Gehlot and sometimes Sachin. Now tell both of them to rest at home. 19 papers were leaked in these 5 years. Patwari’s recruitment paper leaked. Police recruitment paper leaked. They have done injustice to lakhs of youth,” he added.
Pressing on economic development in the country, Nadda said that this Diwali, gold worth more than Rs 50,000 crore was purchased through white transaction.
“More than 55 lakh vehicles have been purchased this Diwali. India has become the third-largest automobile market. 9 years ago- Made in China was written on mobile phones, but today it is written Made in India.
Modi ji decided to build 4 crore houses under PM Awas Yojana. The decision was taken to give 20 lakh houses to Rajasthan. Gehlot government did not allow 9 lakh houses to be built. Our government will build 20 lakh houses and give them to Rajasthan,” JP Nadda said.
As several BJP leaders are making efforts to woo voters ahead of the polls in Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath claimed that the state is making the top list for all kinds of crimes instead of development and tourism.
Addressing a rally in Amber Assembly constituency in Jaipur on Monday, Adityanath said, “The Rajasthan where five years ago steps were taken and events were organised to make development reach every village, poor, farmers, youth and women in the leadership of Vasundhara Raje, what happened to that Rajasthan in these five years that it didn’t remain number 1 in development, tourism, and employment and is now number 1 in crime, anarchy and corruption.”
