'Gehlot ji's contribution is more to Congress' treasury': Amit Shah takes a dig at Gehlot-Pilot rift in Rajasthan

Op India  

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday attacked the Congress in Rajasthan for its internal strife, saying the party will always give Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot preference over Sachin Pilot because of the greater amount of corruption money he contributes to the party’s finances. “Pilot sits on dharna on any pretext, but his number will not come because his contribution in filling the coffers of Congress party is less and Gehlot’s contribution is higher,” Shah said while addressing booth-level party workers meeting in Bharatpur. #LIVE | Pilot ji whatever you do, your number won't come, maybe your contribution is more on the ground than Gehlot ji but Gehlot ji's contribution is more in Congress's treasure: Amit Shah#BJP #AmitShah #Rajasthan #RajasthanPolls #Congress pic.twitter.com/nBxtieePio — Republic April 15, 2023 Gehlot has enriched himself by turning the Rajasthani administration into a centre of corruption. “A 3-D administration in Rajasthan,” he said, “stands for ‘dange’, ‘durvyavhar’, and ‘Dalit’ horrors.” People are going to vote out the government in elections, Shah stated, predicting that the BJP will win all 25 Lok Sabha seats in Rajasthan and a 2/3 majority in the state’s assembly polls.
