I) With senior Congress leader and party MP Birender Singh kicking up a controversy with his claim that there are people who shell out upto Rs 100 crore to get a Rajya Sabha seat, BJP today lashed out against him and alleged that Congress has no belief in democracy.
"Congress has turned into a private sale and purchase society and has no belief in democracy," Raje told a public meeting during her Suraj Sankalp Yatra tour along the Lohavat-Phalodi-Jodhpur route.
Time has come to take a call on whether to go with a party indulged in trading activities or with a party having capacity to build the state, she said.
Criticising the Ashok Gehlot-government, Raje said, out of 7.32 lakh registered unemployed youth, the government could offer only 10,000 jobs.
