Jaipur: Former chief minister Ashok Gehlot on Friday said BJP leadership, including Amit Shah and Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself, made a mistake by announcing that the Lok Sabha elections would be fought in the name of ‘Modi’ or his ‘guarantees’, and it will be the biggest reason for their defeat.
Gehlot said Modi was ‘nervous’ and got exposed by naming ‘Ambani and Adani’ in his speech. “BJP is losing elections (Lok Sabha elections),” said Gehlot.
The former chief minister further said that even RSS and BJP people didn't know how to defend Modi's remarks when the latter spoke about 'Mangalsutra' or 'Adani-Ambani'. “After the Ambani-Adani statement, even the BJP and RSS workers are not able to defend Modi anymore. BJP and RSS workers are not coming out of their homes as they did earlier. That is why the vote percentage is declining,” he said. “I think Modi has made a huge mistake this time.”
“They have waived loans of 22 industrialists worth Rs 16 lakh crore, which belonged to the people. Modi was exposed by naming ‘Ambani and Adnani’ (in his speech). They have come to know that this government is losing. He (Modi) has become nervous and doesn’t know what he is saying. Nobody can understand him,” said Gehlot while speaking to mediapersons here before leaving for Amethi.
“I think Amit Shah and PM Modi have made a mistake. This is going to cost them heavily. The mistake is that two months ago they declared that the election (Lok Sabha elections) would be fought only in Modi’s name or his ‘guarantees’. They gave a slogan, ‘Agli Baar, Modi Sarkaar’. They decided that the names of any MPs shall not be highlighted,” he added.
Addressing a rally at Karimnagar in Telangana, PM Modi accused Congress of striking a deal with “Ambani and Adani” on Wednesday. He asked if the party had received “tempo loads of black money” from the two businessmen in return for Rahul Gandhi to stop “abusing” them during the elections.
Gehlot advised INDIA bloc members should be careful while giving statements during elections in the country.
Reacting to Gehlot’s statement, BJP state president CP Joshi said, “Gehlot’s remarks suggest that he is suffering with a phobia of Modi and RSS. It is evident that Gehlot will be embarrassed to face the public following the election results on June 4."
