Law and order situation in Rajasthan is getting worst: Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore
Jul 22, 2023
New Delhi [India], July 22 : Training his guns at Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot-led government in Rajasthan, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore on Saturday said that the law and order situation in Rajasthan is getting worst.
"Rajasthan CM is forgetting that the law and order situation in Rajasthan is getting worst. It's only PM Modi who can help them. Rajasthan’s sentiment has got hurt because of the mismanagement of the law and order situation," BJP leader Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore said.
Rathore's comments followed a press conference held by Gehlot earlier in the day in which he launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi accusing him of not visiting violence-hit Manipur, from where a viral video of the incident in which two women were paraded naked and assaulted had gone viral and triggered outrage.
He further said, "Under the influence of PM Modi, the weaker section of society is getting money. He has given money for the betterment of Rajasthan under the Jal Shakti Mission. Rajasthan’s name is being defamed by Rajasthan’s government only."
Earlier in the day, Rajasthan Chief Minister, Ashok Gehlot, launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing him of refraining from visiting violence-hit Manipur.
"For the first time, I have seen that a Prime Minister is visiting Karnataka, Rajasthan and other places for elections, but not Manipur. It is his government in Manipur, just imagine what would he have said if it was a Congress government there," CM Gehlot said while speaking to the media at his residence in Jaipur.
The Senior Congress leader also criticised PM Modi for allegedly making a reference to incidents in Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh while commenting on a video of women being paraded naked and molested in Manipur and said that Modi's remark has hurt the sentiments of Rajasthan.
"The way Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the CMs of Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh should take care of the law and order situation in their state, it has hurt the sentiments of Rajasthan," Gehlot said.
Rajasthan CM also went on to suggest that PM Modi should have held a meeting to review the situation in Manipur.
This comes after PM Modi on Thursday took note of recent sexual assault on women in Manipur, and appealed to all the Chief Ministers of the states to tighten law and order while mentioning Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh during his address.
"This a shameful incident for any society..who did this and who is responsible is another issue but this has put our nation to shame. I appeal to all chief ministers to tighten law and order. Whether it is Rajasthan, Chattisgarh or Manipur...the issue of a woman's honour is above all politics," PM Modi said while commenting on the Manipur situation ahead of the Monsoon session of the Parliament.
