"BJP government led by Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje has failed miserably as it could not start any new public welfare scheme in the last six months," former Congress MLA Pratap Singh Khachariawas said at a press conference here today.
Its achievement is a "big zero" in every sector, he said.
Khachariawas is also a senior leader of Jaipur Shahar Zila Congress Committee.
Khachariawas alleged that the law and order situation in the state is "crumbling" and people are feeling unsafe and insecure.
Raje government also failed to curtail inflation, Khachariawas said, adding that milk products were made costlier, roadways bus fare was hiked, fare concession to women and senior citizens in government buses was withdrawn and the scheme providing food grains to BPL families at Re 1/kg was stopped in the last six months.
Hike in power tariff is also on the cards for the state power companies, he claimed.
On a question about Congress' total rout in Lok Sabha polls in the state after its humiliating defeat in the Assembly polls, he said, "BJP got 25 MPs, and how many of them got ministerial berth...Just one....Very poor representation...Of course the Congress lost the polls due to anti-incumbency factor of the UPA-II.
