PM Modi in Sumerpur LIVE: 'I don’t want to win just Rajasthan, I want to win every polling booth'
The campaigning for the much awaited Rajasthan assembly elections has reached the final stage where the polling will be held on Friday across 199 of 200 constituencies. While BJP is eyeing yet another victory, Congress is confident that it will unsettle the Raje government.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP chief Amit Shah who have spearheaded the party throughout the election campaign will campaign in the state to seek people support for Vasundhara Raje.
During his first poll rally of the day in Sumerpur, PM Modi went on to attack Congress for perpetuating caste politics, dynasty politics and corruption. Taking a dig at the Congress party for the AugustaWestland Chopper scam, PM Modi said that the government has caught hold of the 'raazdaar' and now he will disclose the secrets of the 'naamdaars' (Congress).
He will later address a gathering in Dausa.

Addressing a press conference in Jaipur ahead of his campaign rally in Ajmer, BJP chief Amit Shah lashed out at the Congress party and said that the Rahul Gandhi-led party was involved in negative politics, promoting casteism and appeasement. The BJP, in contrast, practised the politics of development and got a good response, Shah told reporters.
Referring to the violence in Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh, earlier this week, Shah said it would be unfair to give it a political colour. The Congress, he added, had made allegations but things would be clear after the Special Investigation Team report.
Earlier on Tuesday, Modi and Congress president Rahul Gandhi addressed public meetings in Rajasthan in favour of their party’s candidates. At an election rally in Jaipur, Modi said that Congress party pushed the state back and it was due to its poor style functioning that Rajasthan had to stand in ‘bimaru state’ category.

Also, campaigning in Telangana will end on Wednesday evening. The state will go to polls along with Rajasthan on December 7. Counting of votes will be done on December 11.
