 "Ashok Gehlot")
Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot on Saturday accused the BJP of winning the assembly elections in four states by polarising votes and making clever statements.
Addressing a gathering at Gandhi Circle here after participating in a peace march on the 92nd anniversary of the Dandi March, Gehlot also said the people need to maintain harmony in today's atmosphere of tension in the country.
Hitting out at the BJP after the peace march on Jawahar Lal Nehru Road, Gehlot said, They won elections by giving statements cleverly in the name of Hindutva and polarisation.
The situation is serious in the whole country, in states. Everyone knows how was the management of the corona pandemic in UP. Such questions are left behind because they speak cleverly, he said.
In the atmosphere of tension in our country today, we need to maintain harmony by following the path of truth, non-violence and peace as shown by Mahatma Gandhi, he said.
