Foreign powers working against BJP govt: Shivraj Singh Chouhan

Calling Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi “baalak buddhi” (childish), Shivraj attacked him for his remarks in Parliament. He also claimed that the Opposition lied about Agniveer and Minimum Support Price during the Lok Sabha polls, and that the Congress-led alliance is trying to set misleading narratives that BJP workers should be wary of.

BJP National Executive member Vinay Sahasrabuddhe said there were multiple causes behind the LS results for BJP, including disinformation by the Opposition on issues including reservation.

Praising Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma, Shivraj said: “The work he has done in such a short span — he has fulfilled 45 per cent of the (manifesto) resolutions — I congratulate him from my heart.”

Shivraj also heaped praise on Prime Minister Narendra Modi: “These Lok Sabha elections were chamatkari (miraculous), it has happened for the first time in 62 years that a PM has returned for a third term after completing two full terms. History has been created. It is an extraordinary achievement.”

On the October-November Assembly elections in Rajasthan, Shivraj, referring to Ashok Gehlot said: “We used to hear about the former CM, that he is a big magician who will form the government. But the magician’s magic did not work. The people of Rajasthan emerged as the real magicians and elected the BJP with a huge mandate.”

Rajasthan CM Sharma, former CM Vasundhara Raje, state BJP chief C P Joshi participated in the meet, along with senior leaders including Bhupender Yadav, Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, Om Prakash Mathur and Arjun Ram Meghwal .
