Ashok Gehlot attacks BJP over delay in naming CMs of 3 states, alleges ‘polarisation’ in Rajasthan elections

financialexpress.com:

Congress leader and former Chief Minister of Rajasthan Ashok Gehlot has criticised the BJP over the delay in choosing CMs for the three states where the saffron party had won, alleging that “there is no discipline in the party”.

“There is no discipline in this party. If we had done the same, I don’t know what allegations they would have levelled against us and misled people. They polarized the polls…We will cooperate with the new government,” he told news agency ANI.

Gehlot, who is in Delhi to take part in a meeting to review the party’s performance in the recently-concluded Rajasthan polls, also said, “If Congress had not selected a CM for this long, then they (BJP) would have screamed.”

“In the Gogamedi case, I had to sign a document stating ‘no objection’ to an NIA probe. This should have been done by the new CM. For seven days now, they (BJP) have not been able to select a CM; I want them to take a decision quickly,” he added.

Gehlot further attacked the BJP saying that the saffron party won the polls in Rajasthan by “polarising” the elections.

“They brought issues like triple talaq, Article 370 abrogation, Kanhaiya Lal murder and propagated lies that Muslims were given 50 lakhs and Hindus only 5 lakhs. They won the election by spreading lies,” said Gehlot.

In the November 25 polls, results for which were declared on December 3, the Bharatiya Janata Party won 115 of the 199 seats in the state.
