With a day left for campaigning to end,top leaders from both the Congress and the BJP flew around the state and attacked one another.
Sonia ji,you say you have given schools and hospitals to Rajasthan. Have you spent out of your own pocket? It is public money that you are spending, BJP campaign chief Narendra Modi said in Sikar,taking on the UPA chairperson directly. Modi also addressed rallies in Nagaur and Ajmer,where Sonia and Rahul Gandhi had recently held rallies.
I have some questions for you but I also know that you and your family do not answer questions raised by the people, Modi said in Sikar. But this time the people will give you a fitting reply.
In Ajmer,Modi alleged the Congress had been dividing the country,starting from Partition to Telangana,then avoided falling into a trap: When Atal Bihari Vajpayee carved out Chhattisgarh from Madhya Pradesh,Jharkhand from Bihar,and Uttarakhand from Uttar Pradesh,both the old and the new states were rejoicing. But now the Congress has divided Andhra Pradesh in such a manner that both Telangana and Seemandhra are burning.
On Sonias allegation about Vasundhara Raje being absent from the state,Modi said,You ask where the opposition was? I say we were out with a microscope looking for the state government. Where was the government? What were they doing for all these years?
At a rally in tribal-dominated Banswara,Rahul called the BJP a leader in corruption. Yes,they are ahead of us,not in making roads and giving power connections but in corruption. They are the champions in corruption. Our politics is for the poor,the weak,the Dalits8230; Go to any of the BJP-ruled states,like Madhya Pradesh or Chhattisgarh,and see the state of their tribal population, Rahul said.
Other campaigners included the Congress and BJP chief ministers of Haryana,MP and Chhattisgarh,besides Kirodilal Meena who flew around the state slamming both those parties.
