Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan launched a scathing attack on Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot in a campaign speech in Jaipur. Chouhan, who is actively campaigning for the upcoming assembly polls in Rajasthan, accused the Gehlot government of ruining the state in the last five years. He claimed that the people of Rajasthan are eager to bring a BJP government to counter the failures of the Gehlot administration.
During his speech, Chouhan highlighted several issues that he believes are indicative of the Gehlot government’s incompetence. He mentioned corruption, women atrocities, cybercrime, paper leaks, and riot and terror cases as some of the major failures of the incumbent government.
Chouhan stated that Rajasthan is currently the number one state in terms of corruption, women atrocities, cybercrime, paper leaks, and riot and terror cases. He argued that these issues have made the state an alternative to bad governance and that the people of Rajasthan are determined to remove the Gehlot government and bring the BJP to power.
Responding to Gehlot’s claims that he should be reelected based on his guarantees, Chouhan dismissed them by stating that not a single guarantee made by Gehlot has been fulfilled. He specifically mentioned the failure to waive off farmers’ loans and provide allowances to the unemployed.
Chouhan also criticized Congress National President Mallikarjun Kharge for his statements against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He claimed that Kharge’s intellect has been damaged and that the Congress is afraid of PM Modi’s commitment to fighting corruption. Chouhan emphasized that PM Modi will not spare anyone involved in corruption or fraud.
In response to Kharge’s accusation that PM Modi always abuses him and Rahul Gandhi, Chouhan defended PM Modi and denied any personal attacks. He stated that PM Modi has not only abused the Congress but has also undertaken significant work for the betterment of the country.
The assembly polls in Rajasthan are scheduled to take place on November 25, with the counting of votes set for December 3. Out of the 200 seats, 199 will be contested, as the Congress candidate for the Karanpur assembly constituency, Gurmeet Singh Koonar, passed away due to sepsis, leading to the postponement of elections in that constituency.
