BJP legislators walk out of Rajasthan assembly over Randhawa’s remark on PM Modi
Hindustan TimesJAIPUR: Bharatiya Janata Party lawmakers staged a walk out in the Rajasthan assembly on Tuesday over a statement made by the ruling Congress party’s state in-charge Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa on Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The BJP insisted that Randhawa’s statement on Monday implied that he was talking about eliminating PM Modi, a charge denied by the Congress which insisted that Randhawa’s remarks were not a call to harm the prime minister but made in the context of the BJP government at the Centre not agreeing to form a joint parliamentary committee to look into the allegations made by the US firm Hindenburg against the Adani Group. “If Adani and Ambani have to be removed, Modi should be finished first… then defeat the BJP,” Randhawa said at a protest meeting on Monday, according to news agency PTI. The BJP flagged Randhawa’s statement in the assembly soon after state party chief Satish Poonia wrapped up his speech on the state budget BJP legislator Madan Dilawar said terrorists have entered Rajasthan and the state government wasn’t doing anything about it.
