Law & order situation deteriorated under Gehlot: Rajasthan BJP chief

Rajasthan BJP president Satish Poonia on Wednesday slammed the Congress party for the worsening law & order situation in the state and also accused the government of allegedly insulting the legends of our country and distorting the historical facts.

Jaipur: The law and order situation has deteriorated under the Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot's rule, alleged Rajasthan BJP president Satish Poonia on Wednesday.

He said earlier people trusted police as criminals feared them.

Now criminals are openly taking the law into their hands, the BJP leader alleged while referring to a firing bid on Congress MLA Bharosi Lal Jatav in Hindaun.

On a question related to Rahul Gandhi's re-election as the Congress chief, Poonia said, "If he becomes the Congress president, then it is a matter of entertainment for the country."

He also objected to the alleged removal of Maharana Pratap and his horse Chetak's reference from the Class 10 course in the state.

"Maharana Pratap's valour does not matter to Chief Minister Gehlot the mood of the Nehru-Gandhi family is more important," he said.

The state BJP chief also said that insulting the legends of our country and distorting the history is an addiction for the Congress party.

"Congress' policy of appeasement is evident through the fact that school textbooks portray Akbar as Great and Maharana Pratap as impatient and incompetent, " Poonia said while accusing the government of twisting the historical facts.
