Jaipur: A day after more than 20 Congress MLAs in Rajasthan accused the opposition BJP of trying to bring down the Ashok Gehlot-led government, the saffron party on Saturday said the Grand Old Party was simply trying to divert the attention from its ‘mismanagement’ in handling the Covid-19 crisis.
It added that the Congress was blaming BJP for internal feuds with the party.
“After failing to handle the Covid-19 crisis and being unsuccessful in every front of the governance since the past one-and-half-years, the Congress is now blaming us with baseless allegations to divert the attention of the public.
It actually reflects the internal feud within the Congress party and how they don’t trust their own MLAs,” state BJP president Satish Poonia said.
Late on Friday night, 24 Congress MLAs had alleged that the saffron party was trying to bring down the Congress government in the state through horse trading and other corrupt practices.
“We have clear information that top leaders of the BJP are involved in this conspiracy, who are contacting Congress MLAs and trying to misguide them by luring them in various ways.
But the Congress in the state and all the MLAs who support it will not let their efforts to succeed,” the MLAs said in the joint statement.
Referring to the Rajya Sabha elections held last month, the Congress MLAs said that the saffron party had failed in its horse trading attempt due to the unity of Congress, independents and other parties.
