Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday hit back at Rahul Gandhi’s “knowledge of Hinduism” remark which the Congress president had made during a rally on 1 December in Jodhpur.
Besides the high-octane and traditional method of campaigning, the Congress has made full use of social media as a tool to read the minds of the electorate.
Rajasthan Congress chief Sachin Pilot, former CM Ashok Gehlot and chairman of the manifesto committee Harish Choudhary released the party manifesto.
The priest also presented documents showing the names of Rahul Gandhi's ancestors who have worshipped at the Pushkar lake.
BJP district president Dr Satyaprakash Acharya said route of the roadshow will be decided in consultation with the candidates and party workers.
While Pilot, a former MP, will be contesting the assembly polls for the first time, Gehlot has twice been the chief minister of the state.
Sachin Pilot said there was a lot of infighting within the BJP over ticket distribution and disgruntled leaders had been queuing up to join the Congress.
Tickets will be finalised soon and BSP chief Mayawati will hold rallies in the state, state party vice-president Dungarram Gedar said.
