Without taking names, former Rajasthan CM Vasundhara Raje Scindia slammed her rivals within the party, equating them with snakes ready to spit venom at her.

Jhalawar:Despite her pedigree, politics has not been a cakewalk for Vasundhara Raje, the former Chief Minister of Rajasthan. Appears to be in political wilderness, Raje's distance in the party echelons looks apparent.

On Saturday, Raje who arrived on a one-day visit to Jhalawar to unveil the 14 feet high statue of Maharana Pratap, was found taking on 'backstabbers' in her own party.

“No matter how much you love a snake, it will still spit venom at you. I don't care nowadays though but it hurts at times,” Raje said. She further said, “I'm ready to get my head chopped off, but not ready to bow in front of my enemy.” Raje attacked her rivals within the party though she never named them. “In life, self-respect comes first, then other things to me. We don't need to be afraid, if we fight for what is right,” Raje said.

She also vowed to keep fighting for her goal continuously.

Remembering Maharana Pratap, she said, “When bad times come, then even the kings who sleep on velvet beds in the palace are forced to sleep on a bed of thorns in the forest.”

She appealed peole present at the event to take a leaf out of the life of Maharana Pratap, who she said, taught all to remain undefeated even in troubled times.

“Those who are overjoyed in arrogance in the thought of a sense of happiness, crumble in crisis. Neither they succed nor can they create history," she said.
