BJP MP Kirodi Lal Meena has claimed that the Gurjar community in Rajasthan has made a “ghar wapsi (homecoming)” to the BJP as its “big leader” Sachin Pilot was betrayed by the Congress and not made the chief minister.
Meena, the BJP candidate from Sawai Madhopur taking on sitting Congress MLA Danish Abrar, also claimed that the Gurjar community was feeling “insulted” as Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot had hurled abuses at Pilot.
The Rajya Sabha MP, who has been at the forefront of the BJP's campaign alleging graft charges against the Gehlot government over issues such as examination paper leaks, also slammed the Congress for what he claimed was “unprecedented corruption” during its tenure in Rajasthan.
“Corruption has increased to such levels that you would not have heard that Rs 2.30 crore in cash is found in a government office and 1 kg gold is being found in almirahs. This is unprecedented and has not happened anywhere in the country.
