Addressing a rally in Nagaur, PM Modisaid, “Delhi Darbar was been busy trying to loot the chair of its own CM and the CM has been busy in dealing with them.These people had left the people of Rajasthan to fend for themselves.”
“Now when the time of elections has come, these people are reluctantly getting themselves photographed together… Big leaders from Delhi come here and make the chief minister and another leader who wants to become the chief minister shake hands in front of the camera. A century of handshakes in five years, but there is no reconciliation. These people are pretending to join hands but there is bitterness in their hearts,” PM Modi said.
PM dubs CM Ashok Gehlot as ‘Jadugar’, accuses congress of turning Rajasthan into a hub for corruption
Sachin Pilot and Ashok Gehlot who had a running feud for nearly three years recently reconciled – much to the relief of Congress in the poll-bound state. When the differences between the two top leaders of Rajasthan was at its peak, Ashok Gehlot used barbs such as ‘nikamma’ directed at Pilot.
The Congress in Rajasthan had to face embarrassment in the run up to the assembly elections as the two top leaders openly targeted each other after Sachin Pilot’s revolt against Ashok Gehlot. Pilot failed to unseat Gehlot and lost his position of deputy chief minister and state Congress chief. However, the Congress managed to convince him to stay in the party. Several attempts to broker peace between the two leaders failed and at one stage Pilot sat on protest against his own government.
Earlier this year, the Congress announced truce between the two leaders, and asserted that the two would unitedly fight the assembly elections.
