Referring to media reports, he wrote, "Under the BJP rule, Rajasthan has become number 1 in the country in cases of rape of minors. The cases of blackmailing and gang rape of a minor Dalit girl in Tonk and blackmailing and rape of several school girls in Ajmer show that the criminals have lost the fear of law".
"Chief Minister Shri @BhajanlalBjp should hold a meeting of the Home Department and the Police Department regarding women's safety and review why the situation in Rajasthan is becoming serious day by day," his post read.
In a separate post, the former CM also slammed the BJP-led government on problems faced by the farmers. He alleged that the BJP had promised to buy crops at minimum support price (MSP) in order to come to power but now farmers are being compelled to sell many crops at rates lower than the MSP.
राजस्थान में भाजपा ने सत्ता में आने के लिए किसानों को न्यूनतम समर्थन मूल्य (MSP) पर फसल खरीद का वादा किया। परन्तु आज राजस्थान के किसान परेशान हैं कि मूंगफली, बाजरा जैसी फसलों को बाजार में MSP से कम दाम पर बेचने पर मजबूर हैं।

"In order to come to power in Rajasthan, BJP promised to buy crops from farmers at minimum support price (MSP). But today the farmers of Rajasthan are worried that they are forced to sell crops like groundnut and millet in the market at prices lower than MSP," he wrote.
He further accused the state government of failing to help farmers. "The BJP government is not able to provide electricity, water for irrigation to the farmers, nor is it able to pay the price of crops. The farmers who voted for the BJP after falling into its trap are disappointed and watching the spectacle of Modi's guarantee failing," he added.
