Ashok Gehlot, the Chief Minister of Rajasthan, responded to recent statements made by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) opposing the “Bharat Jodo Yatra.”
Taking on the BJP, Ashok Gehlot said, “Why does BJP have a problem with Bharat Jodo movement, Rahul Gandhi had said that BJP is the politics of hatred and we are working to unite the country, what is the issue with BJP.”
Rajyavardhan Rathod, a former BJP Union Minister, and National Spokesperson took a swipe at the Congress by claiming that their journey is “Bharat Jodo Nahi Bharat Todo.”
He further said, “Gandhi family is famous for breaking India, they have done this for years. If we take the example of Jawaharlal Nehru and the situation he created in Kashmir, Indira Gandhi who imposed an emergency, who gave birth to terror inside Punjab, and Rajiv Gandhi whose work caused the Sikh riots, their way of doing work is to break the society and spreading hatred in the society.”
The Chief Minister further added, “the BJP leaders themselves wear glasses worth 2.5 lakhs and the Home Minister wears a muffler worth 80 thousand rupees. How can they politicize a t-shirt.”
Rajyavardhan Rathod, while taking a shot at Ashok Gehlot said that Rajasthan Congress had other responsibilities other than establishing and re-establishing a family.
The safety of women in Rajasthan has become a concern, as have lumpy diseases and other things. However, they are working to start and restart a family through the yatra.
The former MP further added, “There was a lot of uproar in the meeting of Sports Minister Ashok Chandna, who is considered to be of Gehlot camp. Slogans were raised in front of the minister in support of Sachin Pilot, while some activists threw their shoes and hooted.”
The former Deputy CM was targeted by Chandna by naming him and said, “If Sachin Pilot becomes the Chief Minister by throwing a shoe at me, then he should be made soon because today I do not feel like fighting. The day I come to fight, then only one will be left and I do not want this”
