JAIPUR: A day after senior BJP MLA Kailash Meghwal targeted Opposition leader Gulab Chand Kataria ahead of the assembly session, the ruling Congress on Wednesday targeted the Opposition party by describing it as an undisciplined party with half a dozen leaders vying for chief ministership.
Commenting on Meghwal’s letter to BJP national president J P Nadda against Kataria, transport minister Pratap Singh Khachariyawas said the questions raised by the BJP MLA were pertinent.
Joining the issue, health minister Raghu Sharma said the infighting in the opposition party has exposed that it is an ‘indisciplined’ party.
“There are six CM candidates in BJP. The party recently took out ‘Jan Ashirwad Yatra’ but for what are they the seeking blessings?” Sharma asked.
He said that despite considerable decline in revenue, Ashok Gehlot-led government did not let development work suffer during the Covid pandemic.
Meghwal wrote to BJP chief Nadda that Kataria has become a liability to the saffron party with his comments on Maharana Pratap and Lord Ram that caused losses to the party during the assembly by-elections.
During campaigning for the bypolls in Rajsamand in April, Kataria stoked controversy by making derogatory remarks regarding Maharana Pratap, triggering widespread criticism.
Around the same time, he also said that without BJP, 'Shri Ram' would have been in the sea. He had also alleged financial misappropriation by Kataria.
MLA Meghwal informed party's state president Satish Poonia through a letter that he would move a censure motion against Kataria in the party's legislative meeting ahead of the assembly session, which will start on Thursday.
