Amit Shah in Jaipur
With the election campaigning in the state coming to an end on Wednesday, Bharatiya Janata Party President Amit Shah addressed a press conference in Jaipur and said the BJP transformed poll-bound Rajasthan from a 'bimaru' to a developed state and would now make it prosperous. Shah also predicted that his party would form a government with full majority.
Slamming the Congress party, the BJP president said Rahul Gandhi’s party was involved in negative politics, promoting casteism and appeasement.
The BJP, in contrast, practised the politics of development and got a good response, Shah said.
While the Congress promoted dynastic politics, making members of one family party presidents, the BJP gives importance to those who perform and work to push the country ahead, he said.
Shah also talked about the Bulandshahr violence in Uttar Pradesh earlier this week and said it would be unfair to give it a political colour. The Congress, he added, had made allegations but things would be clear after the Special Investigation Team report.
A police inspector and a young man were killed in mob violence that broke out after cow carcasses were found strewn in a jungle in the Uttar Pradesh district on Monday.
"The number of those who filed income tax doubled after demonetisation," the party president added.
The BJP conducted 15 roadshows and 222 big meetings in Rajasthan during its campaign for another term in office, he said.
Rajasthan will go to polls on December 7 and the votes will be counted on December 11.
