Satish Poonia accuses Rajasthan govt of playing appeasement politics in Malpura

JAIPUR: State BJP president Satish Poonia on Thursday accused the state government of playing appeasement politics by being a mute spectator to news of migration of majority community in Malpura tehsil of Tonk.

Poonia was reacting to the reports saying due to the increase in the population of the minority community, the majority community was fleeing the area due to fear.

“It is very disturbing to hear that 300 families have been forced to leave right under the nose of the government. The government has to take the cognisance of the events unfolding in Malpura that has a history of communal disturbance,” he said.

He added that the majority community has been complaining about the changing demographics in the tehsil, but the way they pasted posters outside their houses is shameful for the ruling government.

“Similar incident has been happening in Mewar region, dominated by the minority community. The manner in which government has ignored the incidents shows that they are promoting communal politics,” said Poonia,.

The BJP has directed its MLAs to raise the failures of the state government in the assembly. At a party meeting held at the assembly, Poonia said the session is an opportunity to expose the lies of the government, its mismanagement during Covid, graft in procuring medicines and medical equipment and unfulfilled pol promises.
