Modi says lotus will be face of BJP in Rajasthan Assembly polls
The HinduIn a clear indication that the Bharatiya Janata Party would not project any Chief Ministerial face, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Monday the BJP’s ummeed and ummeedwar in the Assembly polls was going to be the party’s symbol. Mr. Modi said that the BJP, if elected to power in the upcoming Assembly election in Rajasthan, will not stop any of the welfare schemes launched by the Congress Government. Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot had “accepted defeat” by making a request on these lines to him recently, Mr. Modi said. Mr. Modi said Mr. Gehlot had realised that the countdown for the Congress Government’s downfall had begun. Mr. Modi also attacked the Congress Government over corruption and crimes against women, which he said had brought Rajasthan to the top position in the country’s crime chart.
