Ashok Gehlot has admitted defeat, we will continue with his schemes: PM Narendra Modi in Rajasthan | Jaipur News

JAIPUR/CHITTORGARH: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday promised poll-bound Rajasthan that the Congress government’s welfare schemes would be “improved and continued” if BJP won and claimed that chief minister Ashok Gehlot had conceded “defeat” by appealing for such programmes to be continued.
Addressing a rally near Chittorgarh after unveiling projects worth Rs 7,200 crore and offering prayers at the Sanwaliya temple, the PM sent an emphatic message that the party won’t project a CM candidate. “In this election, we have only one face, the lotus (BJP symbol). The lotus is our hope and our candidate,” he said.
A bevy of BJP leaders was present at the rally, including former CM Vasundhara Raje, state president CP Joshi, leader of opposition Rajendra Rathore and Union minister Arjun Meghwal.

Modi also vowed to “expose the paper leak mafia”. “Keep faith in me. Those who have played with the future of youths will not be spared,” Modi said to a long, thunderous applause. He was referring to 18 recruitment exam paper leaks on Gehlot’s watch.
He called out Congress for indulging in vote-bank politics over the beheading of Udaipur tailor Kanhiya Lal last year by two minority community men over a post on social media that allegedly insulted the Prophet.
“Have you ever imagined what happened in Udaipur? Rajasthan, which has the tradition of never attacking an enemy by deceit, had witnessed the gruesome incident. People came in the guise of stitching clothes and without any fear, beheaded a tailor. Then they made the video viral with pride,” Modi said. Accusing Congress of turning the environment in the state toxic, Modi said no festival can be celebrated in peace.
