Congress conspiring with other parties to defeat BJP: Shahnawaz Hussain

KOTA: The Congress is hatching conspiracies with other parties to defeat the BJP in the December 1 Assembly elections in Rajasthan, BJP leader Shahnawaz Hussain said here today.

Congress is helping other parties in poll preparations and selection of candidates in a bid to ensure BJP's loss, the MP said.

Speaking to reporters in Jhalawar after accompanying BJP's chief ministerial candidate Vasundhara Raje for filing her nomination papers, Hussain said despite such tactics Congress cannot defeat BJP as the public is fed up with corruption and are looking for a change.

Addressing public meetings in Jhalawar and Baran, he urged voters to bring BJP to power for overall development and progress of the state and alleged that Congress was misleading the minorities with the secularism card ahead of elections.

Raje, who filed her papers from the Jhalarapatan Assembly constituency, criticised the ruling Congress for failing to provide essential facilities like electricity and drinking water to the people of the state.

She also lashed out at the Congress for failing to provide security to woman and claimed if BJP is voted to power, women would be able to move out of their homes safely even at midnight. During her speech, Raje also promised job for youths.
