New Delhi [India], August 19 (ANI): In a Scathing attack on Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot, BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh said on Saturday that the people of the state want a change and are looking at the BJP with expectations that it will relieve them of the state government’s misrule.

After the meeting, Gehlot, while addressing the media, said, “Congress will again win with a huge majority in the state. The public is determined that Congress repeats government in Rajasthan.” He further said they have started their preparations, and the state is directing the other states on various issues.
CM Gehlot added that other states were putting their schemes in their election manifestos and poll campaigns. He said that people were talking in other parts of the country about their schemes, like the Old Pension Scheme, the Right to Health, Social Security, or other schemes. “It is a big victory of its own”.
