The election battle of Rajasthan Assembly is becoming interesting. Voting is on November 25, but before that, political parties are trying to woo the public with all their might.

“When two pickpockets want to pick someone’s pocket, the first thing they do is to distract them. One pickpocket comes from the front and diverts attention, the other picks the pocket from behind. Similarly, PM Modi’s job is to divert attention and Adani’s job is to pick pockets,” said Rahul Gandhi.

Congress MP further said that if BJP comes in Rajasthan, Adani’s government will start here.

“If BJP comes to Rajasthan, then all the facilities like old pension, LPG cylinder for Rs 500, health scheme, English school etc will be stopped. As soon as BJP comes, Adani’s government will start in Rajasthan,” said Gandhi.

“In Rajasthan we are giving free health insurance of Rs 25 lakh. Here we are giving LPG cylinder for Rs 500. The money from our schemes is not going into Adani’s pocket, lakhs of people are getting benefit from it. This is the difference between Congress and BJP,” he added.

While addressing a rally in poll bound state Rajasthan’s Baytu, Congress MP compared PM Modi with ‘panauti’.

“Our boys were playing well there, and they were about to win the World Cup, but the panauti (referring to PM Modi) made them lose. The TV people will not say this, but the public knows it all,” said Rahul Gandhi. The official handle of Congress party has even shared Rahul Gandhi’s video from his speech saying these words.

Well, the assembly elections in Rajasthan are scheduled to take place on November 25, in a single phase, followed by the counting of votes and declaration of results on December 3.
