BJP's state election in-charge and Union Human Resource Development Minister Prakash Javadekar and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Rajendra Rathore on Monday said that there is a split in the state Congress as former chief minister Ashok Gehlot and PCC chief Sachin Pilot addressed press conferences separately.

Countering the allegations of Gehlot, Rathore said that the statement of Gehlot has exposed the anti-farmer face of the Congress.

During the BJP Feedback programme in Amer, Javadekar and Rathore allegations made by Gehlot on Monday. Javadekar said that there is a split in the state Congress. "Gehlot and the Pilot do not want to give time to each other. This is the reason why Gehlot has addressed a press conference in Delhi and Pilot in Jaipur at the same time", said Javadekar.

On the Rafale deal issue, Javdekar said the Congress that is misleading people. In the Nirav Modi case, Javadekar said that "when our government took action against him, he left the country, the Congress had given him money."

Parliamentary Affairs Minister Rathore gave a curt reply on the allegations made against the BJP government relating to the farmers. "The Congress's anti-farmer face has been exposed out after Gehlot objected to why Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje has waived off the electricity bill of 13 lakh farmers a day before the code of conduct. Gehlot has insulted these small farmers whose electricity bill is less than Rs. 10,000 Gehlot also has a problem with bank loan waiver of the farmers up to Rs 50,000", he said.

On the issue of suicides by farmers in the state, Rathore said that this statement of Gehlot is an insult to the state's culture and the farmers. If Gehlot has any list regarding farmers' suicide case in the state, then he should present it. On Gehlot's statement regarding the Bajri mafia, Rathore said that this matter is under consideration in the Supreme Court. During the tenure of the Gehlot government, allotment of mines without auction was done. BJP Government has introduced a new mining policy and started allotment of the mines through auction.
