“BJP devoted entire strength to election campaign, decision will favour party”: Anurag Thakur

Ajmer (Rajasthan) [India], December 2 (ANI): Ahead of the results of Assembly poll in five States, Union Minister Anurag Thakur asserted that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has devoted its entire strength to the election campaign and the decision will also be in favour of the party.

“BJP devoted its full strength to the election campaign and I can say that the decision will also be in favour of the BJP. People want double-engine government and development,” Anurag Thakur said while speaking about state assembly results that will be out tomorrow.

Further speaking on the law and order situation in the state of Rajasthan, he said, “Over here in Rajasthan, crime against women, anarchy and corruption have peaked in the last five years and people in the state were waiting for an opportunity to get rid of the corrupt government (Congress). I am hopeful that tomorrow BJP will come to power in Rajasthan.”

Anurag Thakur visited the state of Rajasthan to attend a programme in Ajmer.

Earlier during the day, Anurag Thakur, while speaking to media personnel in Jaipur about exit poll results and Rajasthan assembly elections, said that the people of Rajasthan will soon be freed from the Congress government and its loot.

“The wait of the people (of Rajasthan) will be over and they will be freed from the anarchy and corruption in the state. People will be freed from Rajasthan’s Congress government, known for its loot. Just wait for one day,” said Anurag Thakur.

He also thanked the people of Rajasthan for extending their support to the BJP.

Further reacting to Congress’ claims of forming the government, Thakur said, “Claims and false promises are their old habits. Five years ago, Rahul Gandhi made promises in Rajasthan that were not fulfilled. Congress has been unmasked and only the results are to be revealed tomorrow. BJP will form the government.”

Notably, ‘political party and candidate’ was the most significant factor in deciding voting patterns, along with the issue of “corruption” having varied significance among voters, according to the analysis by Today’s Chanakya of its survey among voters.

Today’s Chanakya said that ‘development’ influenced 37 percent in Rajasthan, while ‘political party and candidate’ had a significance of 28 percent.

In Rajasthan, the survey said that Congress+ got the support of 32 percent of members from the Jat community and the BJP got 38 percent. It said the figure was 58 percent and 31 percent for the SC community for Congress and BJP, respectively; 46 percent and 36 percent for Meena and STs; 83 percent and seven percent among Muslims; 26 percent and 53 percent among Brahmins; 29 percent and 47 percent among Rajputs; and 28 percent and 48 percent among OBCs.
