NDTV
Accusing the BJP of winning elections in the name of religion, Ashok Gehlot said ensuring poll victories in this manner is easy and not an act of bravery.
Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot today said the BJP-led Centre should set up a department of peace and non-violence just like his government has done if it truly believes in democracy and the Constitution.
Accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of winning elections in the name of religion, Mr Gehlot said ensuring poll victories in this manner is easy and not an act of bravery.
He reiterated that the situation in the country is alarming and that democracy is under threat.
Speaking at the Rajasthan Gandhi Darshan Sammelan programme here, Mr Gehlot alleged that the BJP had put forward Anna Hazare, Arvind Kejriwal and yoga guru Ramdev in a movement against the previous Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government at the Centre on issues such as Lokpal and added that there is no talk about issues such as Lokpal, 2G spectrum or the coal scam today.
