Jaipur: State Congress president Sachin Pilot said on Sunday that Diwali will be celebrated twice in Rajasthan, first on November 7 and then December 7 when the “VasundharaRaje government will be given a farewell.”
State Congress president Sachin Pilot meets people during ‘booth jitaobhrashtacharmitao’ programme in Jaipur on Sunday.The festival of lights will be celebrated on November 7, and assembly elections will be held in on December 7.Congress workers across the state went to all 51,000 booths on Sunday with the slogan ‘booth jitao, bhrastacharmitao’
Pilot said party workers will publicise “failures of the BJP government” till the polling date. “There is less time left for polls, the Congress has decided to reach out to all booths and assign task to workers from today,” he said.
“If the Congress wins at booths, then the BJP government’s rule will end and a good, honest and faithful government will be formed in Rajasthan.”
Pilot alleged that the BJP gave motorcycles and money to workers during their booth-level campaign. “Despite that it was seen in the Ajmer bypolls that there were booths where the BJP did not get even a single vote. No one even by mistake pressed the ‘phool’ the saying ‘phool and bhool (mistake)’ is right.”
Pilot said, “Now the BJP is accepting that they have to deny tickets to 125 of 160 sitting MLAS. I feel BJP people in Delhi might deny VasundharaRaje the ticket; this is being discussed as AICC chief Rahul Gandhi is going to hold a meeting in Jhalarapatan, the CM’S constituency.”
Pilot said Congress is working on a positive agenda and bring out a people’s manifesto. “We will talk to all sections – youth, farmers, traders, industrialists, and others -- in all districts and bring out a manifesto which will not have false promises or catch phrases.”
