Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot Sunday slammed the BJP over its cost that Rahul Gandhi insulted OBCs together with his comment in 2019, and stated his get together has executed rather a lot for backward courses which embrace making an OBC chief like him CM thrice.
Gandhi was on Thursday sentenced to 2 years in jail by a Surat courtroom in a 2019 felony defamation case over his “why all thieves have Modi surname” comment.
Several BJP leaders, together with get together chief J P Nadda, have accused Gandhi of insulting Other Backward Classes (OBCs) by his comment.
Addressing a gathering on the daylong “Sankalp Satyagraha” of the Congress on the Rajghat, Gehlot stated Prime Minister Narendra Modi carried out an “experiment” in Gujarat polls in 2017 by saying {that a} Congress chief abused him about his caste.
And in a repeat of that, the BJP is claiming once more earlier than elections that Rahul Gandhi insulted OBCs, Gehlot stated.
“In 2017, when the BJP was losing the Gujarat elections, Modi ji played the OBC card against the Congress there. The BJP today again wants to run a campaign to mislead the OBCs,” he alleged.
Are fugitives like Nirav Modi and Lalit Modi OBCs, he requested.
“You are protecting fugitives such as Nirav Modi and Lalit Modi, and then saying Rahul Gandhi insulted OBCs,” he stated.
Gehlot stated can anybody overlook what the Congress has executed for OBCs and SCs and STs.
“I have been made CM for the third time by Sonia ji, Rahul ji. I am an OBC. There is only one member of OBC Mali community (in the assembly) and that is me,” he stated.
Gehlot stated what “bigger message” might be for the OBCs there than him being made chief minister time and again.
Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel can be comes from the OBC group, he identified.
Elections are coming and that’s the reason they’re elevating this bogey of OBC insult, he alleged. “It is baseless.”
He stated the sacrifices of the Gandhi household are earlier than everybody and Rahul Gandhi is continually elevating the difficulty of unemployment and excessive costs.
“They could not answer on allegations raised in Parliament by Rahul Gandhi. I have never seen before that allegations are raised but instead of answering, the prime minister has taken a vow of silence,” Gehlot stated.
The BJP raised allegations in opposition to Gandhi for his remarks overseas, when he stated what he had been saying within the nation, he stated.
It is the PM who ought to reply and apologise, Gehlot stated.
“Rahul Gandhi has emerged as the voice of the country. We will keep fighting to ensure that democracy is kept alive in the country,” he stated.
