New Delhi [India], October 8 (ANI): As Rajasthan heads towards the State Assembly Elections later this year, Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan is set to visit the state's capital Jaipur today.
The Union Education Minister will be on a one-day visit to the state and also hold the divisional meeting of the Bharatiya Janata Party.
As elections in Rajasthan gain momentum, the BJP is keeping no stone unturned to taste victory in the state and nor does the opposition.
Just a week ago Prime Minister Narendra Modi also paid his visit to the poll-bound state.
In his state visit to the state, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a scathing attack on the ruling Rajasthan Congress and said that the people have made up their minds to vote out the Ashok Gehlot regime and bring back the BJP.
"The Congress deserves to score a big zero for the way they ran government here. The people of Rajasthan have made up their minds to remove the Gehlot government and bring the BJP back," PM Modi said in Rajasthan.
In a war of words between the BJP and Congress, Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot alleged that the promises PM Modi makes are never fulfilled. He said, "Campaign for elections have started. So, if the Prime Minister brings a campaign here we don't have a problem with that. It is his right. But the promises that he makes are never fulfilled. The PM's approach is on election mode."
Senior Congress leader Sachin Pilot also criticized Prime Minister Modi and said that "PM keeps coming to Rajasthan again and again, but he never speaks on burning issues like the Eastern Rajasthan Canal Project (ERCP). There is a power tussle going on in the BJP, and Congress is moving forward with great coordination today, and in the end, Congress will form the government with a greater majority than has been achieved in years."
The Election Commission will announce dates for the Rajasthan State Assembly elections before 10th October, which are likely to be held in the month of November 2023. (ANI)
