'Only a magician can do this,' Amit Shah's swipe at Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot
Amit Shah on Tuesday said law and order, electricity in villages and welfare schemes started by the previous government «vanished» after Ashok Gehlot came to power in Rajasthan and added «only a magician can do this», alluding to the chief minister's past. Addressing a campaign rally in Rajasthan's Kuchaman ahead of the November 25 assembly polls, the senior BJP leader said the Congress government in the state is the «most corrupt» and has crossed «all limits of appeasement», and appealed to people to uproot it.
He cited the killing of Udaipur tailor Kanhaiya Lal, various communal incidents, illegal mining and recruitment exam paper leaks to target the state government.
Referring to Chief Minister Gehlot's previous association with magic, Shah said he has made law and order, electricity in rural areas and schemes launched by the previous BJP government led by Vasundhara Raje vanish.
«Only a magician can do this,» he said. Gehlot was born into a family of professional magicians in Jodhpur and briefly assisted his father on his tours.
