BJP hatching 'conspiracies' to win polls in Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh: Gehlot

Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Thursday charged that the "red diary" issue and Mahadev betting app case were a "conspiracy" by the BJP to win assembly elections in Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh. An inquiry into the matters should be done by a retired judge of the Supreme Court, he demanded. At a press conference at the Congress office, Gehlot also slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's remarks on late Congress leader Rajesh Pilot, and claimed the BJP wants to "provoke" the Gurjar community in the state. Prime Minister Modi on Wednesday accused the Congress of punishing Sachin Pilot after meting out the same treatment to his father Rajesh Pilot, saying anyone who speaks the truth in the party is shunted out of politics.

The Congress on Thursday said its Chiranjeevi Health Insurance Scheme in Rajasthan is a model for the entire country and its promise of increasing the medical coverage under it to Rs 50 lakh will provide maximum relief to the poor and the middle class.

But the people of Rajasthan need not worry. The armour of the revolutionary Chiranjeevi Yojana is with them," Ramesh said.

BJP hits back at Rahul over his 'Panauti' remark, calls him 'slow-witted'

A war of words has erupted in Madhya Pradesh over Rahul Gandhi's 'PM means Panauti Modi' remark with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) hitting back at the Congress leader, calling him "slow-witted". Senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh, however, defended Gandhi over the use of the word. At an election rally in Rajasthan on Tuesday, Gandhi said, "PM means Panauti Modi", insinuating the prime minister's presence at the Ahmedabad stadium during the India-Australia Cricket World Cup final brought bad luck to the home side, which lost the decider. Reacting to the statement, Madhya Pradesh BJP chief V D Sharma told reporters, "Rahul Gandhi exhibited his 'mandbuddhi' (slow-witted) status by making such a statement against the world's most popular leader Prime Minister Narendra Modi." Gandhi insulted 130 crore people of the state by using the word 'Panauti', he said. "A major reason why the Congress is losing its existence today is Rahul Gandhi and his terminology," Sharma added. ...

Congress will return to power, 'magic' will work: Rajasthan CM Gehlot

Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Wednesday said the accused in the Kanhaiya Lal killing case in Udaipur were "linked" to the BJP and should have been "hanged by now" but the investigation by the NIA was not progressing as it should. In an interview with PTI ahead of the November 25 state assembly polls, the senior Congress leader also spoke about the party's prospects in the state, the "red diary" issue and poll guarantees.
