Jaipur : The date of voting for the assembly by-election in Rajasthan has come near. The round of allegations and counter-allegations continues among the leaders of BJP and Congress. Meanwhile, BJP state president Madan Rathore gave a statement after which politics heated up in Rajasthan. Rathore said that there is a BJP government in the state and the centre. In such a situation, if a person with opposing mindset wins, he will hesitate in citing development work. Now on this, Leader of Opposition in Rajasthan Legislative Assembly Tikaram Julie has termed this statement of Madan Rathod as anti-democratic. He said that ‘if a person with opposition mentality wins, he will not be able to carry out development work in the area. The statement of the BJP state president shows how prejudiced mentality and arrogance of power the BJP has on the issue of development. Arrogance and bias are in the veins of BJP.
‘They are giving such statements due to defeat’
Leader of Opposition Tikaram Julie said, ‘Today at the BJP headquarters in Jaipur, BJP State President Madan Rathod’s statement that if a person with opposition mentality wins, he will hesitate in talking about development work in the area. This statement of Rathod is contrary to the basic spirit of democracy and is indicative of the narrow mentality of BJP. BJP’s defeat is certain on all seven seats of the assembly by-elections. Disturbed by this, the state president of BJP is giving anti-democracy statements.
‘Partisanship and arrogance run through the veins of BJP’
Julie said that ‘This statement of the head of the ruling party also indicates that the official BJP government of the state does not want to carry out development work in the constituencies of the opposition MLAs. But the opposition Congress and the public in the state are so aware that they have the courage to carry out development work by fighting on the streets and in the House. Julie said that BJP State President Madan Rathod has forgotten that every MLA has equal rights in the House. It is the responsibility of the state government to develop all the areas. Whenever Congress has ruled the state. There was never any discrimination regarding development work. Because the concept of development, public welfare and equality is the identity of Congress. Whereas the arrogance and partiality of power is in the veins of BJP. To which the public will give a befitting reply in all the seven assembly constituencies on 13th November.
