Opposition slams BJP as Ramesh Bidhuri gets key Rajasthan poll responsibility, says BJP rewards hate
Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal took to X, formerly Twitter and wrote that BJP rewards hate. He added that Bidhuri is rewarded for attacking Danish Ali (BSP) in the Special Session of Parliament.
The opposition slammed Bharatiya Janata Party after it gave election responsibility to Lok Sabha member Ramesh Bidhuri. On Wednesday, MP Ramesh Bidhuri was appointed as the party’s election in-charge of the Tonk constituency in Rajasthan. The BJP MP is in the eye of a storm for his derogatory remark against his parliament colleague BSP MP Danish Ali.
Slamming the move, Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal took to X, formerly Twitter and wrote that BJP rewards hate. He added that Bidhuri is rewarded for attacking Danish Ali (BSP) in the Special Session of Parliament. He noted that the Muslim population in Tonk is 29. 25% and that this move symbolises hate for political dividends.
Notably, with the Gurjar community present in large numbers in the Tonk district, which has four assembly seats, including the one held by senior Congress leader Sachin Pilot, the BJP believes Ramesh Bidhuri can help it swing the votes as he is also from the same caste.
The Congress leader is also from the Gurjar community. Evidently, Tonk is Sachin Pilot’s stronghold. The Rajasthan Legislative Assembly election is scheduled to be carried out in or before November of this year to elect representatives for the 200-member house.
In addition, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh also took to the social media platform and said that BJP’s, Sabka saath, sabka vikas, sabka vishwas is a fake campaign. Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Mahua Moitra also criticized the BJP and said Bidhuri had been rewarded for his remarks against a Muslim MP. She further questioned, how does a showcaused person be given a new role by BJP.
During the discussion of Chandrayaan 3 success, Bidhuri’s remarks calling Danish Ali a terrorist, militant etc triggered an uproar in the House with opposition leaders demanding strong action against him.
Previously, speaking on Bidhuri’s remarks, BSP MP Danish Ali expressed that he will now see if the BJP is taking any action against Bidhuri or if he will be promoted and included in the central cabinet of ministers.
