Ashok Gehlot says Constitution will be in danger if BJP comes back; calls Narendra Modi ‘more Bollywood actor than politician’

Sikar: Rajasthan chief minister and Congress leader Ashok Gehlot on Thursday alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi seems more like a Bollywood actor than a politician, who “worked less and did jugglery more”. He claimed that the Constitution and democracy “will be in danger” if the BJP is voted to power again. [caption id=“attachment_4291973” align=“alignleft” width=“380”] File image of Ashok Gehlot.

He worked less and did jugglery more, because of which country has to suffer a deep crisis. BJP has forgot all the promises it made before the 2014 Lok Sabha polls.” He said Sikar district strongly supported the Congress in the assembly elections, which ultimately led to the formation of the party’s government in Rajasthan. So it is only right to launch state Congress’ election campaign for Lok Sabha polls from here, Gehlot said. Accusing the BJP and RSS of spreading rumours on social media, he claimed that they were hatching a conspiracy against the Congress, whereas people of the country have made up their mind to vote for the grand old party. Rajasthan Congress president and deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot said the people of Shekhawati region will remove the BJP from power at the Centre just like in the state. Congress general secretary and state in-charge Avinash Pandey, Rajasthan health minister Raghu Sharma, education minister Govind Singh Dotasara, former assembly speaker Deependra Singh Shekhawat and former Union minister Subhash Meharia also addressed the public meeting.
