BJP government responsible for Rajasthan's deteriorating law and order: Sachin Pilot
Jaipur: Congress' Rajasthan Unit Chief Sachin Pilot blamed the Vasundhara Raje-led BJP government in the state for the deteriorating law and order situation, courtesy the divide and rule policy it had adopted.
Terming the incidents of loot and arson reported in the state during the Bharat Bandh called by some Dalit groups on Monday to protest dilution of the SC/ST Act as "unfortunate", he said that the state government has totally failed on all fronts in dealing with the situation.
In a press statement, Pilot said that the onus of the deteriorating law and order situation goes to BJP government which failed to predict the intensity of the bandh and hence couldn't stop violence and arson on streets.
"Today (on Tuesday), the situation has worsened to the extent that Dalit leaders' houses have also been torched," he added.
Pilot also expressed his surprise at the statement issued by the BJP holding Congress accountable for the situation in the state, and state people will give a "befitting reply to the insensitiveness and apathy" of the ruling BJP by electing Congress in the forthcoming elections.

Delhi polls: AAP MP Sanjay Singh alleges BJP trying to get his wife's vote deleted
New Delhi: AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh on Sunday alleged that the BJP was trying to get his wife's name deleted from the voters list of the New Delhi Assembly constituency ahead of the polls in February.
Addressing a press conference, the senior AAP leader accompanied by his wife Anita Singh alleged that the BJP was trying to delete the names of Purvanchali people settled in Delhi.
Singh and his wife belong to eastern Uttar Pradesh. Purvanchalis are people from eastern Uttar Pradesh and Bihar settled in Delhi for decades, and form a significant chunk of voters in the city.
Singh claimed that two applications were filed on December 25 and 26 for deletion of his wife's name from the voters list of the New Delhi seat represented by Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supremo Arvind Kejriwal.
He claimed that the BJP was trying to teach him a lesson for raising in the Rajya Sabha the issue of names of Purvanchali voters being deleted from the voters list in Delhi.
Earlier in the day, Kejriwal alleged that applications were filed for deletion of over 5,000 votes in New Delhi since mid December.
The BJP has alleged that the names of Rohingya and Bangladeshi people illegally staying in Delhi were added to the voters list at the AAP's behest.
The BJP has accused the AAP of helping the illegal immigrants with documents to use them as a vote bank in the elections.
