Former Raj CM Vasundhara Raje slams GM Ghelot over her not supporting BJP
For Former CM Rajasthan Vasundhra Raje things doesn’t seem to look favourable to her.
She is the the front contender for the CM face of the saffron party in ensuing elections.
She has counterattacked on the statement made by CM Gehlot ‘praising’ her for not supporting the leaders of the BJP in toppling the Congress government in the state.
Raje in her statement said that No one can insult her as much as Gehlot has done. CM Gehlot’s praising her is a big conspiracy against her. He is scripting fabricated stories to avoid the historic defeat in the 2023 elections, which is unfortunate but his ploy is not going to be successful
Raje’s strong reaction came late on Sunday night following CM Gehlot’s statement in Dholpur the home town of Vasundhara Raje.
Gehlot, while speaking at an event he is the had mentioned that Vasundhara Raje and former Assembly Speaker Kailash Meghwal “were not in favour of toppling the government elected by the people on the basis of money.”
Accusing Gehlot of being the master of horse-trading of MLAs, Raje said, “At that time neither the BJP nor the Congress had got the majority. We could have formed the government. But it was against the principles of BJP. On the contrary, Gehlot formed the government both times by arranging MLAs
Raje further added that Gehlot is lying due to fear of defeat in 2023. “He has accused Home Minister Amit Shah, whose honesty and truthfulness are well known, adding that taking and giving bribes are both crimes. “If Congress MLAs have taken money then Gehlot should register an FIR,.
She further added that Gehlot made outrageous and untrue allegations in his anger due to the rebellion in his own party and the mass base going into the abyss.
Notably, this is for the second time that Raje is facing such statements that are putting questions on her image of a loyal party leader. What is more damaging is that Gehlot’s statement came at a time when PM Narendra Modi is to visit Rajasthan on May 10th.
A few days ago, dissident leader of Congress Sachin Pilot, during his day-long fast on the issue of alleged corruption amid the previous BJP government, had indirectly accused both Gehlot and Raje of being hand in gloves and said “now 6-7 months are left for the election and to prove that we are not hand in glove with our opponents, action should be taken.”
Meanwhile Raje clarifies her position saying that many people had been deliberately telling lies that they have colluded with their opponents. “How is collusion possible amidst different ideologies, with those from whom you heard unreasonable language every day?
