BJP more concerned over Rahul's wink than public issues: Pilot


New Delhi, Aug 7 (IANS): Congress leader Sachin Pilot on Monday accused the BJP of being concerned over Rahul Gandhi's wink in Parliament and remaining silent on serious issues like lynching, poverty, farm distress and crime against women.

"Democracy has turned into anarchy. People are getting killed but the government doesn't care about that. They care more about winking," a release quoted him as saying at News18 India Baithak.

"The BJP is silent on serious matters like unemployment, starvation, poverty, crime against women, and farmer suicide but is still debating Rahul Gandhi's wink in Parliament."

Pilot, who is Congress Rajasthan unit chief, said that his party was sure of winning the Assembly elections in Rajasthan this year and that the Chief Minister's name would be decided after the polls.

He said the BJP-led NDA government had done "absolutely nothing" at the ground level in the last four years.

"Now, the BJP should not talk about the last 70 years but give an account of work done in the last four years. Till when will they drive the car while looking in the rear mirror? Where are the "acche din"? For the BJP, elections are a priority whereas for the Congress key issues are the nation, peace and progress," the Congress leader said.

The Rajasthan Congress chief also said that the Vasudhara Raje-led BJP government in the state had not performed well and so the ruling party will lose the Assembly elections.

As for Chief Minister candidate, he said: "We believe in progressing together. The CM candidate will be declared after we win the elections."

    BJP is more concerned of retaining power after 2019. They are not at all sure about coming back to power.

    Its better you start your own Congress party. There is no future in Vinci Congress under Pappu.
    The so called wink was just another comedy episode of the Mr, Bean of India. People have moved on as the Vinci Congress dug its grave deeper that day.

    Rahuls Hug seems to have deflated the BJP badly. It was a googly that has not only thrown Modi off balance but has also unnerved the BJP.

    One of the best speech I heard about Rahul Gandhi in the parliament. During the speech, Rahul very clearly said, you may degrade me to any extent, but I will not have any revenge against you. After the speech , Rahul Gandi hugged to Modiji. It is all of a sudden and definitely it might have came as a rude shock to Modiji.

    Entire BJP folks got a rude shock of this hug by Rahul Ghandi to Modiij.
