Jodhpur, Sep 29: Asserting that the BJP is all set to form its government in Rajasthan with a thumping majority, senior party leader Devender Singh Rana on Friday predicted imminent defeat of Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot in Sardarpura seat in Jodhpur during the upcoming assembly elections.
“BJP is all set to sweep the Rajasthan polls and register a thumping victory,” Rana said while addressing Sangathan Baithak at Sursagar Assembly Constituency in Jodhpur.
“There is anger against Ashok Gehlot is growing for his misgovernance, non-performance, divisive and appeasement policies,” he said.
Rana, a senior BJP leader from Jammu and Kashmir and the Prabhari for Jodhpur said the people of Rajasthan are “hugely disillusioned” with the Congress in general and the chief minister in particular. “They have made up their mind to show the anti-people government the door,” he said.
He described the Congress as a “villain of democracy” and said that “for the lust of power it can jump the red line and can even sacrifice the national interest”. In this context, he referred to the “rigged” Jammu and Kashmir elections in the 1987 post-Rajiv Gandhi-Farooq Abdullah accord “that brought the sensitive border state to a situation of the morass, leading to a cult of violence unleashed by the neighbouring rogue country”.
“Had Rajiv Gandhi not ignored the warning signals from the then Governor Jagmohan the valley would have not plunged into the dark era of radical terrorism, witnessing the hounding out of minuscule Kashmir Pandit minority from their homes and hearths. But for the course correction by the BJP under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Congress with its lackeys in the political spectrum had brought Kashmir to disaster,” he said.
Taking the Congress head on for its “historical blunders”, Devender Rana asked, “What had motivated the first Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru to take the so-called Kashmir issue to United Nations; who promoted secession and terror in both Punjab and J&K and who weakened democracy by dismissing duly elected governments as per whims and ego of very tall Congress leaders.” In this context, he referred to the “installation of a puppet government in J&K in 1984 by dislodging the duly-elected government on the directions of Indira Gandhi”.
The BJP leader added, “By spearheading the anti-Sanatan INDI Alliance, the Congress has drafted the script of its own annihilation, as the ‘Hate Modi Campaign’ has strengthened the resolve of nationalists to stand behind the Prime Minister like a rock to make India the Vishwa Guru. While the stature of the Prime Minister is growing leaps and bounds across the globe, the Modi haters back home are getting reduced as political dwarfs.”
