Jaipur: Former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot reacted to the by-election for the Anta assembly seat in Rajasthan and the Bihar election results. He said that good news is coming regarding the Anta by-election. Anta had already created a Pramod Jain Bhaiya atmosphere. He said that the Bihar election results were disappointing. The kind of atmosphere we saw, the way women were given ten thousand rupees each. The special thing is that even while the election campaign was underway, ten thousand rupees were being distributed. According to the rules, this should not have happened. Money was being deposited into women’s accounts until the day before voting. The Election Commission took no action.
Mobile and pension distribution stopped in Rajasthan: Former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said that when the Congress government was in power in Rajasthan, mobile phones were given to women. The day the code of conduct came into effect, the distribution of mobile phones was stopped. The social security pensions that women and the elderly were receiving were then stopped. That too was stopped, but in Bihar, everything was being distributed. Pensions and money were being distributed there. You can imagine what could happen if women in a state like Bihar receive ten thousand rupees. This has been a major factor. The Election Commission remained a mute spectator: He said that the Election Commission remained a mute spectator during the Bihar elections. Why didn’t it stop the distribution of ten thousand rupees, while in Rajasthan, mobile phones and pensions were stopped. Rahul Gandhi was talking about vote theft. This is vote theft. When fair elections are not held, where dishonesty is prevalent and money is being distributed. But the Election Commission took no action. This was the Election Commission’s collusion with the government.
The country needs the Congress ideology: He said that money power is being misused in elections these days. No one can imagine how money is distributed in envelopes. In Maharashtra, money was spent like water. Congress and RJD do not have money. Winning the election is one thing. The NDA will win the election and form the government. Narendra Modi has become Prime Minister three times, but the country still needs Congress and its ideology.
Electoral bond money should be deposited in the PM Relief Fund: Gehlot said that the BJP collected money through electoral bonds. The money was collected through ED notices. The notices expire upon payment. Now the Supreme Court has declared electoral bonds unconstitutional, but crores of rupees collected through them are being used against opposition parties. Why isn’t this being stopped? This money should be deposited in the PM Relief Fund. The Election Commission did not stop the ten thousand rupees given to women today, and pensions continued to be distributed.
