Modi continues attack on Cong in Rajasthan rallies

The Congress's culture of arrogance and dynastic politics punishes anyone who dares speak the truth, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Wednesday in poll-bound Rajasthan, alleging that senior leader Rajesh Pilot once challenged the first family of the party and his son, Sachin Pilot, was still paying the price.

Modi's comments were seen as a move to woo the Gurjar community, which Pilot belongs to.

At separate rallies in Jahazpur and Sagwada towns, Modi prophesised that the Congress would never return to power in Rajasthan, which goes to the polls on November 25.

Modi said any leader who dared to speak the truth that was unpalatable for the Congress's first family found their political career finished.

"The Congress's leaders from Delhi are challenging the young people here who have faith in Lord Devnarayan. They are saying that (Ashok) Gehlot will be chief minister again... look at the arrogance of the Congress leaders in Delhi... If anyone dares to speak the truth in Congress which is unpalatable to the family, then rest assured that person's political career is over," Modi said in Jahazpur in Bhilwara district.

Lord Devnarayan is the god of the Gurjar community. In the last elections, the Congress won 30 of the 34 Gurjar-dominated seats in eastern Rajasthan.
