Nov 22, 2023
Jaipur (Rajasthan) [India], November 22 : As the election campaign for the Rajasthan assembly election ends on Thursday, Congress MP Deepender Singh Hooda expressed confidence in his party bucking anti-incumbency to return to power.
"The Congress party always worked for the betterment of people in Rajasthan. This is the biggest USP of this government. For the Haryana election in the next year, we will initiate all the policies in Haryana that have been initiated in Rajasthan. Silent voters are with us. The Congress party is going to change the history in Rajasthan," said Congress MP Deepender Singh Hooda.
Earlier, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot also expressed confidence about getting a majority mandate in Rajasthan.
"People have made up their mood to repeat the government in the state this time. I believe we are moving towards 156 seats. The tradition (of changing the government in every 5 years) is going to break this time. People in the state are happy with the kind of work we have done. In Rajasthan, it is definite that the government will be repeated," CM Gehlot said
Ashok Gehlot also alleged that the government at the centre was using agencies like the ED to topple non-BJP governments in the states.
"These agencies (ED, IT) are important, their actual work is for the economic offender. Their attention should be directed there so that the country's economy remains strong and economic offences don't take place. Their work (in that direction) has ceased for nine years, just making the government topple and rise and for that, they threaten MLAs to make them change their party. They are trying to make the government topple in Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra.with ED's pressure and IT raid. People are not liking this"
Congress leader Imran Pratapgarhi also said that Ashok Gehlot's government initiatives are an example for the whole country.
"The way Ashok Gehlot's government has worked in Rajasthan for the past five years and has launched such policies for the people of Rajasthan that they are an example for the whole country. The Congress party is going to form the government here," Imran Pratapgarhi said.
Rajasthan is set for assembly polls on November 25, with votes to be counted on December 3.
Of the 200 assembly seats, 199 will be contested on November 25, as elections in the Karanpur constituency were adjourned due to the passing of the Congress candidate Gurmeet Singh Koonar.
In 2018, Congress won 99 seats, while the BJP won 73. Gehlot assumed the CM position with the support of BSP MLAs and Independents.
