Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Monday said rallies of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi reminded him of Hindi film “Ghajini”, in which the main character suffers from short term memory loss.
Gandhi, he said, has forgotten the promises he made in the run up to the 2018 Chhattisgarh Assembly polls.
Addressing a press conference, the BJP leader alleged that tainted money from the liquor scam was being invested in the elections.
Fadnavis claimed the Baghel government helped in making fake holograms to be put on liquor bottles and earned Rs 2,000 crore, which is now being invested in the elections.
“People are asking about the Congress’ promise of prohibition but they (party) don’t remember it any more. The Congress promised to start an air ambulance, but are unable to run normal ambulance services,” he said.
Referring to the alleged PSC (Public Service Commission) scam, Fadnvais said Chhattisgarh was the first state where one needs to be the children of politicians and bureaucrats to get jobs.
“Some consumed chara (fodder) in Bihar. But in Chhattisgarh they consumed ‘gobar’,” he said, targeting the Baghel government over alleged corruption in the cow dung procurement scheme.
Earlier, Fadnavis addressed an election rally in Dhamtari city and accused the Baghel government of indulging in scams.
