Rajasthan Congress chief Sachin Pilot today lashed out at BJP-ruled government saying it is working against the sentiments of public and underprivileged sections of the society.
Addressing party workers at a demonstration in Baran district, he said that deaths of differently-abled children, rising crime, escape of dreaded criminal from the custody of police shows the irresponsible functioning of the Raje government which has neglected the interest of the people.
He said that farmers in large numbers in Hadauti region suffered loss due to rains and hailstorm last year but they are still waiting for the compensation.
"Nearly ten lakh farmers are awaiting relief and compensation. Beneficiaries of food security scheme are facing discrimination. Differently-abled persons demonstrating against the government with their demands but the government is careless and not looking at them," he said.
Former minister Pramod Jain Bhaya, PCC vice president Ashok Bairwa and other leaders including Pankaj Mehta, Ramgopal Bairwa were present at the demonstration.
