BJP government will be uprooted in Rajasthan on December 7: Sachin Pilot

JAIPUR: Rajasthan Pradesh Congress president Sachin Pilot claimed that people in the state would be celebrating Diwali twice this year - first on November 7 and then again on December 7 - when Congress will come to power by defeating BJP.


Pilot was speaking at the Congress party’s ‘Booth Jitao, Bhrashtachar Mitao’ campaign, which was launched in the state on Sunday. The campaign aims at strengthening the party’s booth-level management ahead of the forthcoming assembly elections. The campaign was launched for over 50,000 polling booths across the state.

said the BJP will be uprooted from the state and a new government will be formed on December 7. He attacked the BJP and chief minister Vasundhara Raje saying they were conspiring to replace more than 100 sitting MLAs in the upcoming assembly election.

“Why blame the legislators? When the chief minister, the entire government has failed to perform and is corrupt, why should the MLAs be held responsible?” asked Pilot, who along with Congress’s district president Pratap Singh Khachariyawas, participated in the campaign at Jaipur’s Civil Lines and Subhash Nagar.

“Through ‘Booth Jitao, Bhrashtachar Mitao’ campaign the party workers will reach out to the common people and expose the failures of BJP government. They will appeal to the people to support the Congress by going door-to-door. We received an overwhelming response on the first day. The campaign will continue till the elections,” said Pilot.

Pilot claimed that BJP had disappointed the people with its anti-people policies. “Instead of reducing inflation, fuel prices and prices of gas, they have adopted anti-people economic policies,” he said. “The painful incident that happened in the capital yesterday against a minor girl is an example of deteriorating law and order situation,” he added.

Pilot said, “Even the home minister (Gulab Chand Kataria) himself is telling his party workers not to speak much about the failures of BJP government, else party will be doomed. This proves that BJP has compromised the interests of the people and worked for self-interest.”
