Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national president J.P. Nadda on Saturday, July 29, 2023. said his party would sweep this year’s Assembly election in Rajasthan. This, he said, was based on the “unprecedented support” being extended by the people following the failure of the Congress government in the State on all fronts. Mr. Nadda said the Congress had lost people’s faith because of the rampant corruption and crimes against women.
Mr. Nadda was on a day’s visit to Jaipur to preside over a meeting of the State BJP’s core committee. No chief ministerial face in the poll-bound State was projected at the meeting following the reshuffle of the national team of BJP’s office bearers earlier in the day.
Addressing a press conference after the meeting, Mr. Nadda said that women were at the receiving end in Rajasthan, with 18 to 19 rape cases being reported every day, while 19,500 farmers had received notices for confiscation of their land. The promised farm loan waiver was nowhere in sight. “The Ashok Gehlot government is synonymous with loot and atrocities. People have made up their mind to get rid of it,” he said.
