Pilot calls Raje govt arrogant, dictatoria­l

-

Jaipur, Oct. 7: Rajasthan Congress chief Sachin Pilot hit out at Vasundhara Raje- led BJP government on Sunday, saying it was time to wipe out the “dictatoria­l, arrogant government that considers people as its slaves”.

The chief minister could not find time for the people after coming into power and announced free electricit­y to farmers just a few hours before election announceme­nt in the state, Mr Pilot claimed addressing Kisan Sammelan on Sunday in Bharatpur district’s Pahari town.

“Mrs Raje could not find time to see the plight of people and is now doling out offers to woo farmers. The BJP government considers people as its slaves and it was time to wipe out the dictatoria­l and arrogant government,” Mr Pilot alleged.

Taking a dig at Mrs Raje, Mr Pilot said “She has to run a state and give out contracts for roads, mines, liquor so how could she find time to address people’s issues. With the Model Code of Conduct in effect, time is now in favour of people to take a decision.”

Mr Pilot claimed the BJP government­s in the Centre and state showed dreams to people that they would eliminate corruption, reduce inflation and provide employment, but the claims turned out flat.

Mr Pilot said that the Congress had won the people’s trust by winning bypolls on 20 out of 22 Assembly seats and appealed to the people to teach a lesson to the BJP in upcoming Assembly elections that were due on December 7. — PTI
