Surrender: No Cm Face, Bjp Surrenders Before Elections, Says Gehlot | Jaipur News
Jaipur: If the BJP is unable to declare its leader in Rajasthan for the upcoming assembly polls, then it has already surrendered, chief minister Ashok Gehlot claimed on Saturday. Gehlot, who was speaking after taking part in the meeting of Congress’ state election committee, exuded confidence that the Congress government would retain power in the state.
He said the people have made up their mind in this regard and cited the welfare measures taken during his tenure.
Taking a dig at the central leaders of the BJP being active in Rajasthan, Gehlot said it seems the saffron party has already surrendered before the elections.
“People will ask them – if after the elections, decisions on electricity, water, medical and other matters will also be taken in Delhi. Who will do it (decision)?. If you are not in a position to tell who is your leader in Rajasthan and the election will be fought on the face of the prime minister, then I think they have already surrendered before the elections,” Gehlot said.
Asked about the criteria for giving tickets, Gehlot said, “Winnability is the first criterion. The first and last parameter will be winnability – a person who can win the election. A 90-year-old won the election in Karnataka.” Referring to the public welfare schemes of state government, he said, “Other governments are keeping our schemes in their manifestos”.
