JAIPUR: Home minister Amit Shah on Sunday dismissed accusations that BJP tried to topple the Congress government in Rajasthan and dared the ruling party to call early polls if it thinks people support it.
Shah said his party will never try to destabilise the state government while exuding confidence that it will come to power with a two-third majority in the state in the 2023 Assembly polls. He also called upon party leaders to “overthrow” the “useless and corrupt” Congress government in the state.
Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot had earlier accused BJP of the bid to destabilise the state government after his former deputy Sachin Pilot rebelled against him in July last year.
“They are always in fear that their government will collapse. Who is going to topple the government? No one…but why are you doing this; that your own people are running away,” Shah said at a meeting with party leaders here.
The home minister targeted the state government over several issues, including law and order, corruption and unemployment.
He alleged that the state government has stopped several public welfare schemes introduced by the previous BJP government led by Vasundhara Raje and creating hurdles in the implementation of central schemes.
