Gehlot fooling people of Rajasthan: Rathore

Targeting Congress general secretary and former Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot, State Parliamentary Affairs Minister Rajendra Rathore today said that he had fooled the people of the state during his tenure and his dream of returning to power would not be fulfilled.

He said Gehlot and state congress chief Sachin Pilot both are having the dream of getting into power but people have rejected the Congress and their dream would remain a dream.

Gehlot knows very well how to fool public. He did nothing in four years and when elections were approaching in 2013, he tempted people with saari, blankets, cycles, free medicines, laptop and even cash but people neglected them in 2013-Assembly elections and now the Congress party has been neglected totally, Rathore said.

The minister said that the party's central leadership removed him from Rajasthan politics and shifted to Delhi as "Bada Baabu" and now he is busy releasing statements from Delhi.

He said that chief minister Vasundhara Raje is spending 18 hours a day among public and government works and the state is moving ahead under her leadership.

Rathore said that the state government took several decisions and programmes were launched for the development of the state.
