Gehlot-Pilot Forgot Governance; Raje Part of Meet That Decided My Ticket: Rajyavardhan Rathore

News 18  

Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot fought for five years to be the face in Rajasthan and forgot about governance, BJPs Jaipur MP and now candidate from Jhotwara assembly seat, Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, has told News18 in an interview. But if that person is going to stab our mother, the BJP, in the back, then the intention of the person is to be questioned,” Rathore told News18. CM Ashok Gehlot has taken a swipe at the BJP, asking how the ‘Lotus’ can become the next CM and questioning the BJP’s face in the state. Would people want a face like Gehlot in whose term there have been paper leaks 18 times, there are all sorts of mining mafia, every MLA’s single motto is to make as much money as possible but keep the CM’s chair intact, and a state with the highest number of rapes in the country with 17 rapes a day – do people want a face like Gehlot?
