Union Minister Anurag Thakur slammed the state government on Wednesday and said that in the last 5 years, over 2 lakh incidents of atrocities against women and 35,000 incidents of molestation were recorded in Rajasthan and Ashok Gehlot’s Congress government remained asleep.
Union Minister Anurag Thakur said, “If there is any example of lawlessness where law and order have completely died, it is Rajasthan. In the last 5 years, over 2 lakh incidents of atrocities against women and 35,000 incidents of molestation were recorded in Rajasthan and Ashok Gehlot’s Congress government remained asleep.”
“But what has happened today shows that no one is afraid there. What has happened to Rajasthan? Rajasthan was once known for tourism, and today it has become the capital of crime…The time has come to bid farewell to the Rajasthan government.” he added.
This comes after a man was crushed to death with a tractor in Bayana town in Rajasthan’s Bharatpur District on Wednesday. The incident was caught on camera, and the video went viral on social media.
BJP Spokesperson Sambit Patra also took aim at the Gehlot government over the deteriorating law and order situation in the state. He demanded Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi visit Bharatpur before addressing the rally and asked her to show courage and take a stand in the matter. While addressing a press conference in the national capital, Patra said, “A video is viral from Bayana, Rajasthan’s Bharatpur, where a person named Nirpat was murdered by running a tractor over him.”
He said, “Priyanka Vadra is reaching Rajasthan today. I demand her to visit that village before addressing the rally. She should go there and suspend the police officials, District Magistrate and Superintendent of Police and show that she has the courage to take a stand and she is not just for speeches and sloganeering. She has to project that she has a spine. This is a call to Priyanka Vadra. I challenge her to go there first.”
The BJP leader further said that it is not just about the murder of one person, but about the whole of Rajasthan, it is about all Congress-ruled states.
