BJP cheated people after coming to power: Sachin Pilot
During his address, Pilot said, " we have taken a big step towards transparency, please help us in Rajasthan." He argued that when a government wins with money power, it is under the pressure of the capitalists. However only a government formed with the help of the peoples' support can maintain transparency and work honestly, he also said.
The appeal comes in the wake of various reports suggesting that the Congress is facing a severe cash crunch. The party had experimented on similar lines during the Karnataka assembly elections as well.
In Rajasthan the Congress is going all out to oust the ruling dispensation headed by Vasundara Raje. Elections in the state will be held by the end of this year.
