'Gehlot's contribution is more in Congress' treasure': Amit Shah

Union Home Minister and BJP senior leader Amit Shah on Saturday slammed the Congress in Rajasthan over infighting and said that the party will always give precedence to Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot over Sachin Pilot as his contribution is higher in filling its coffers with the corruption money from the state.

While addressing the rally, Shah took a dig at Sachin Pilot and Ashok Gehlot saying that in spite of how much effort Sachin Pilot put there, he will not be successful as CM Ashok Gehlot's contribution is more in Congress's treasure.

"Pilot ji whatever you do, your number won't come, maybe your contribution is more on the ground than Gehlot ji but Gehlot ji's contribution is more in Congress's treasure," Shah said while addressing booth-level party workers meeting in Bharatpur.

''Gehlot has made the Rajasthan government an hub of corruption and has looted the state. This money of corruption has gone to the coffers of the Congress party," the BJP leader alleged.

On the acquittal of the accused in the 2008 Jaipur bomb blast case, Shah alleged that the Congress government did not present proper arguments in the high court due to vote bank politics.

"The government is doing vote bank politics on the deaths of blast victims," he alleged. Shah said that it is a 3-D government in Rajasthan and three Ds stands for 'dange' (riots), 'durvyavhar' (ill-treatment) with women and 'Dalit' atrocities.

People will vote out the government in elections, Shah said and exuded confidence that the BJP will form the government with a 2/3 majority in assembly elections and will again win all 25 seats in Lok Sabha elections in Rajasthan.

He said that the BJP will go to elections on the basis of the work of the Modi government, the party ideology and the popularity of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

"Ashok Gehlot-led Congress government is one of the most corrupt governments in the history of Rajasthan. People are fed up," he claimed.
