Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], May 12 : Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma on Sunday took a swipe at the Congress, saying that the manifesto of the party is appealing because they do not intend to implement them.

"On the other hand, the BJP under the leadership of PM Modi fulfilled all the promises made in 2014, and 2019 and the 'Sankalp Patra' launched in 2024 will also be fulfilled. In 90 days the government of Rajasthan has completed works that the Congress party was unable to do in 50-60 years," he added.
Earlier in the day in Pune, he hailed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and lashed out at the Congress party saying that they have cheated the public.
"We will reach our target. '4 June, 400 par'... The environment is in our favour," said CM Sharma.
Lauding the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he said, "The people have trust in PM Modi. He has worked to boost development and border security and enhanced India's global image."
The Chief Minister further launched a scathing attack against the Congress and said, "The Congress had cheated the public... 'Congress ke dimag ka diwaliapan ho gaya hai.' They don't know what they are saying... They can make agreements with anyone, they are only worried about one family, they are not concerned about the country."
CM Sharma also stated that the Congress promoted naxalism and terrorism in the country.
Exuding confidence, he expressed, "I visited Bengal. BJP's seats there will increase. It will increase in many states like Jharkhand, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh."

He said, " You (people) are connected to the roots of Rajasthan. I am happy that you like to keep connected to these roots and spread the culture of that place all over the world. You all have come from Rajasthan many years ago...you have the blood of Maharana Pratap in your veins..."
