Dausa (Rajasthan) [India], April 13 (ANI): Launching an attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party over the arrest of two Chief Ministers, former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Saturday said that “democracy is in danger” and if PM Narendra Modi wins, he is not sure whether elections will take place again in the country.
On PM Modi’s repeated visits to Rajasthan ahead of the crucial Lok Sabha elections, Gehlot questioned the nervousness within the ranks of the ruling party despite claims of securing over 400 seats in the next elections.
Speaking to ANI, Gehlot said, “PM Modi is coming to Rajasthan again and again. They are saying ‘Agli baar, 400 paar’. Then why is PM Modi’s party so nervous. They are breaking our people. They are sending ED, Income Tax and CBI. And they are making our people join the BJP. They took away Nitish Kumar. What else do you want if you are winning 400 seats?”
Echoing the Congress party’s remark of democracy being threatened after the arrest of Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, Gehlot said “democracy is in danger. If PM Modi wins again, we are not sure if elections will take place again or not”.
Earlier, Gehlot took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s remark on Congress manifesto equating it with ‘Muslim League ideology’, saying that the Prime Minister is unable to find words to criticise ‘such a great’ manifesto so he is ‘using slogans’ to ‘confuse’ people.
“Congress’ manifesto is the essence of Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra and Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra. A big step has been taken towards social security,” the former CM said.
“I think this is such a great manifesto that the Prime Minister cannot find words to criticise it, so he found a way, to raise slogans ‘Muslim League, Muslim League’ so that people get confused,” he added. (ANI)
