Ashok Gehlot said, "The BJP and RSS are accusing us of doing appeasement politics but now they are being exposed. You know that when someone talks in the name of religion, people get misled."
Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot Thursday slammed the BJP over his Uttar Pradesh counterpart Yogi Adityanath's "Talibani mindset" statement and said politics in the name of religion will not work any more.
Yogi Adityanath, while addressing a meeting in Tijara on Wednesday, said, "I have been told that the Congress candidate from Tijara uses big metaphors about himself. Only Bajrangbali's mace can cure the Talibani mindset. Are you seeing how Israel is currently working to crush the Taliban mentality in Gaza." Replying to the UP Chief Minister's remark, Ashok Gehlot said, "Whatever they are saying is not in the favour of the nation. They only want to divert the issue." "They used Bajrangnali's name in Karnataka also and the people of the state gave a befitting reply. Now, it is Rajasthan's turn, the people of Rajasthan will also do the same."
