New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday came down heavily on the Ashok Gehlot-led Congress government in Rajasthan, accusing it of destroying the state in the past five years. Addressing a rally in Jaipur, Modi said that the Congress government deserved “zero marks” for its rule in the state, and that the people of Rajasthan were ready to vote it out.
Modi listed a number of areas where he said the Gehlot government had failed, including law and order, corruption, and job creation. He said that Rajasthan had become a “hub of crime” under the Congress, with the state topping the charts in cases of rape, murder, and kidnapping. He also accused the government of rampant corruption, saying that it was “looting” the state’s resources.
Modi also said that the Gehlot government had failed to create jobs for the youth of Rajasthan. He said that the state had the highest unemployment rate in the country, and that the Congress government was not doing enough to help young people find work.
Modi appealed to the people of Rajasthan to vote for the BJP in the upcoming assembly elections, saying that the BJP would provide good governance and usher in a new era of development for the state. He said that the BJP would create jobs for the youth, improve law and order, and root out corruption.
Modi’s attack on the Gehlot government comes ahead of the assembly elections in Rajasthan, which are scheduled to be held later this year. The BJP is hoping to win the elections and form the next government in the state.
In addition to the specific areas that Modi mentioned, the Gehlot government has also been criticized for its handling of the economy, education, and healthcare. The state’s economy has been stagnant for several years, and the education and healthcare systems are in a state of crisis.
The Gehlot government has defended its record, saying that it has made significant progress in a number of areas. However, the government’s critics say that its achievements have been outweighed by its failures.
It remains to be seen whether Modi’s attack on the Gehlot government will have an impact on the upcoming assembly elections. However, it is clear that the BJP is hoping to capitalize on the dissatisfaction with the Congress government.
