Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his pain at the incidents of
crime in Rajasthan and said Congress “has destroyed the State” in the past five
years.
Addressing a rally, the Prime Minster turned emotional and said the
maximum “number of cases of crime against women are from Rajasthan”.
“It pains me that the State tops in crime list, in incidents of
crime… which State comes on top, in riots… which State is on top, in incidents
of stone-pelting… which State is on top, in incidents of atrocities against
women and Dalit, which State has worst name… is this why you voted for
Congress?” he asked.
He said only Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) can bring all-round
development in Rajasthan adding, “The development of Rajasthan is the biggest
priority of the Central Government.”
Attacking the Congress in the poll-bound State, the Prime Minister
said Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot had “accepted defeat”.
Expressing confidence over BJP’s victory, he said it will continue
the welfare-oriented policies of Congress while taking action over “corruption”.
PM Modi unveiled various development projects worth over Rs 7,000
crores in Chittorgarh, earlier in the day. He said BJP will ensure women’s
safety in Rajasthan.
Rajasthan and four other States will go to the polls by the end of
this year.
