The BJP is the biggest and most reliable political
party in the world, said Defence Minister and one of the Bharatiya Janata Party
star campaigners in Rajasthan, Rajnath Singh, at Shahpura on Sunday.
Rajnath Singh said, “The Congress Government in the
last five years, has only done work that has left scars on Rajasthan’s pride
and dignity. In our party, maybe an individual can go wrong but our party
cannot go wrong. The BJP is the biggest and most reliable political party in
the world.”
Highlighting the Centre’s promises, Singh said, “We
promised abrogation of Article 370, and we did it. We promised that Ram temple
will be built in Ayodhya and now you all are invited on January 22 to have a
darshan of Lord Ram.”
Further, vowing to fulfil all guarantees mentioned in
the election manifesto for the state, Singh said they “will fulfil each and
every one of the promises mentioned”.
“Even now I guarantee you that whatever we have
promised in our manifesto if we are given the chance,” he said.
“Earlier, when India said something, world nations
blindsided our opinion considering us a weak nation. But now you can be proud
that the whole world looks up to India for what it has to say,” he added.
While addressing a public meeting at Jhunjhunu earlier
today, PM Modi said five years of Congress’ rule in the poll-bound state of
Rajasthan have been “spent in running each other out,” a remark that very well
fits in the cricketing world where two teams fight each other to win the match.
Further, targeting the Congress, PM Modi dubbed the
party for having developed only one “tradition” – corruption, nepotism and
appeasement.
Later, counting on his central government welfare
initiatives, PM Modi said that the central government is providing as high as
80 per cent discount on some medicines through Jan Aushadhi Kendras. He cited
that a medicine that costs ₹ 100 is available for only ₹ 20.
Rajasthan will go to polls on November 25, and the
counting of votes will be held on December 3, 2023, along with other four States
– Mizoram, Telangana, Chhattisgarh, and Madhya Pradesh.
In the 2018 Assembly elections, the Congress won 99
seats, while the BJP finished at 73 seats in the 200-member House. Gehlot took
the oath as CM with the support of BSP MLAs and Independent legislators.
