‘Rumours coming in from Delhi should not be trusted,’ says Rajasthan CM

Jaipur, Dec 25 : Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Friday opened a scathing attack on BJP and said that the saffron party does not give tickets to Muslims but uses them to topple the government.
Addressing a press conference on completion of two years of Congress government in the state, Gehlot said, “Muslims have not been given a ticket by BJP during elections, but they are being used to topple the government. On Thursday, PM Narendra Modi gave a wonderful lecture in AMU speaking on diverse religions. However, there is a difference between what he says and he practises. What will be the harm if he gives one ticket to Muslims?” he asked.
The Rajasthan CM also accused Union ministers including Amit Shah, Dharmendra Pradhan and Syed Zafar Islam of concocting a plan to topple the Rajasthan government.
“Amit Shah, Dharmendra Pradhan and Syed Zafar Islam wanted to topple our government. A few other BJP leaders were also part of this plan. However, soon after the plan failed, they are sitting silently. The people of the state shall avenge this action of theirs in the coming election,” he added.
Gehlot further said that the President of the country is also under tremendous pressure.
“The President of India has no time to meet CMs of the four states of the country. It can be gauged how much pressure he is under. We have sent a Bill against honour killing, but it has not yet been passed by the President. It shows how the President is also working under pressure. Judiciary, ED, etc, every one seems to be under pressure and hence democracy is in danger,” he said.
