The BJP has made a mountain out of a molehill, as if I read out last year&#8217;s budget. PM Modi is trying to turn it into a political issue,&#8221; Mr Gehlot said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The BJP knew our budget would be excellent. They panicked after our budget, so they are trying to make my speech an issue,&#8221; said the Chief Minister.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Gehlot, on a rift with former deputy Sachin Pilot that threatens to unravel the party in an election year, insisted that the Congress is united despite the BJP&#8217;s &#8220;conspiracy&#8221; to derail his government.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There are no fissures in the Congress. We have run a stable government for four years. Amit Shah, Gajendra Singh Shekhawat and Dharmendra Pradhan were trying to destabilise my government. They failed miserably in their conspiracy,&#8221; Mr Gehlot said.<\/p>\n<p>The unrelenting feud between Mr Gehlot and Mr Pilot touched a new low in November when the Chief Minister used the word &#8220;gaddar (traitor)&#8221; for his younger colleague, adding to a list featuring other pejorative terms like nikamma (worthless).<\/p>\n<p>The tension spilled over to Rahul Gandhi&#8217;s Bharat Jodo Yatra in Rajasthan days later, drawing jibes from the BJP like &#8220;first Congress Jodo (unite Congress first)&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Rahul Gandhi has given the whole country a message of harmony and development. We will follow it. Our policies, our beliefs, our agenda are the same, so why should we be divided?&#8221; Mr Gehlot said.<\/p>\n<p>The 71-year-old accused the Prime Minister of using his public events as an excuse to campaign for state elections and commented that the frequent visits betrayed his nervousness.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It has become standard for the PM to do up-down from Delhi to different states to win elections. He did so with Gujarat. He came (to Rajasthan) yesterday on an official visit and held a political rally. This is not the correct practice. You have come as a guest and the Chief Minister is welcoming you. On the pretext of a public event, you are campaigning,&#8221; he remarked.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But I am willing to fight PM Modi in Rajasthan. I will not allow BJP&#8217;s games to win this time. People have understood their games and will give me a chance again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ndtv.com\/india-news\/ashok-gehlot-to-ndtv-no-rivalry-in-congress-ready-to-take-on-pm-modi-3777917\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Ashok Gehlot also responded to PM Modi&#8217;s criticism of his budget speech blunder.
