Ashok Gehlot was speaking at a rally in Khedbrahma town of Sabarkantha district in Gujarat, where Assembly elections are due by the end of the year.
Rajasthan Chief Minister and senior Congress leader Ashok Gehlot on Sunday alleged that just the way goats are purchased for Eid celebrations, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is buying MLAs to topple elected governments in states.
He said the BJP had pulled down governments using money power in Arunachal Pradesh, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, and had unsuccessfully tried to unseat him as well in Rajasthan, an apparent reference to the turmoil when Mr Gehlot was set to fight the Congress presidential polls.
He was speaking at a rally in Khedbrahma town of Sabarkantha district in Gujarat, where Assembly elections are due by the end of the year.
The Congress' manifesto for the Assembly polls will be released by November 8, he added.
