Rajasthan Congress president Sachin Pilot on Saturday said the BJP had failed to tell people during the Lok Sabha
election what had it done for them in the last five years and exuded confidence that his party would sweep the state by winning all the 25 Lok Sabha
seats in the ongoing polls.
"Poll campaigns should be run on the issues of governance, investment etc. The Congress
carried out a positive election campaign, unlike the BJP, which did not show its report card. No leader
of the BJP is ready to talk about jobs, which is the core issue," the Rajasthan
deputy chief minister
told reporters at the party office here.
"There is a wave in favour of the
Congress and we are going to accomplish our target of 'Mission 25' (winning all the 25
Lok Sabha seats in Rajasthan)," he added.
The former Union
minister said jobs and farmers' problems were the core issues in the Lok Sabha polls, while alleging that BJP leaders were not taking about these issues and misleading people.
Pilot said there was a new low in
politics and the vocabulary used by politicians during the campaign, which was a cause of concern.
"Those occupying top positions in the government are setting negative examples for the new generation," he said.
The deputy chief
minister also claimed that the number of people working under MGNREGA in
Rajasthan had increased from nine lakh in December last year, when the Congress government took over the reins of the state from the
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), to 31 lakh now.
