Amid the ongoing Lok Sabha elections in the country, Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma hailed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and lashed out at the Congress party saying that they have cheated the public.
"We will reach our target. '4 June, 400 par'... The environment is in our favour," said CM Sharma.
Lauding the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he said, "The people have trust in PM Modi. He has worked to boost development and border security and enhanced India's global image."
The Chief Minister further launched a scathing attack against the Congress and said, "The Congress had cheated the public... 'Congress ke dimag ka diwaliapan ho gaya hai.' They don't know what they are saying... They can make agreements with anyone, they are only worried about one family, they are not concerned about the country."
