LUCKNOW: Claiming that people were “disturbed over the change in BJP’s attitude after getting a clear mandate”, senior Congress leader Sachin Pilot today said that the public would teach a lesson to the saffron party in Bihar Assembly elections due later this year.
“People are disturbed over the change in BJP’s attitude after getting a clear mandate…it will lick dust in the coming Bihar assembly polls,” Pilot told newspersons here.
Rajasthan PCC president also alleged that BJP has failed to fulfill the promises made during Lok Sabha elections campaign.
“BJP is full of arrogance over the majority that it got…
it has not fulfilled even a single promise that it made in the Lok Sabha elections.. people have now come to know its reality,” Pilot said.
“Apprehending a bad show in the Bihar elections, it has now started indulging in politics of caste and religion,” he alleged.
“Every one knows what happened in the Delhi elections…people are now realizing that they have committed a mistake by giving majority to BJP,” Pilot said.
Referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s certain statements on foreign soil, Pilot said that it were unbecoming of him as he is not the PM of BJP or NDA but of the country.
Commenting on the performance of Modi government’s one year in power, Pilot said that agriculture sector has been neglected by the centre.
“Minimum support price of wheat, cotton and other such crop has not been increased… states have been asked not to give bonus, there is shortage of urea and fertilizer…price of petrol , diesel has been increased eight times…farmers have neither got compensation nor benefit of loan waiver,” he said.
The former Union Minister alleged that BJP brought the ordinance on land acquisition in a hurry without taking anyone into confidence or convening all party meet even though they had supported the bill brought by the UPA government.
Meanwhile, lauding Rahul Gandhi for raising the issues concerning farmers both in and outside Parliament in a forceful manner, he said that it has perturbed the BJP leaders.
“Farmers have been broiled and the entire opposition is together on this issue”, he stressed.
Alleging that there is no transparency in the government, he said that the entire power rests in the hands of one man (Modi) and important positions like the Lokpal, CIC and CVC were lying vacant.
Reminding that Chandrayan and rail project in Jammu and Kashmir were the projects of the previous UPA government, Pilot alleged that present government was taking credit for the works done by others.
He also lashed out at leaders like Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti and Yogi Adityanath saying that they were indulging in the dangerous game of polarizing the society and the reality is that BJP was in power today because of such people.–PTI
