BJP did vote-bank politics, betrayed people in Rajasthan: Hardik Patel

Udaipur: Accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party of betraying people in Rajasthan, the Patidar leader Hardik Patel, on Monday, said that BJP would become an opposition party in the December 7 elections in Rajasthan as people here are keen to 'vote out' the party.

"I am holding meetings in villages of Rajasthan and the feedback from public is that they want change now. The BJP betrayed people, especially youths in the name of jobs. There is no job creation and posts in large numbers are lying vacant in the state," Patel said.

Asserting that BJP just did "vote-bank politics", Patel said that BJP governments in the Centre and Rajasthan betrayed people on every front.

"I have held meetings in Bhilwara and Udaipur and will cover Kota and Jhalawar districts before the campaigning gets over. I am trying to understand issues here so that I can take up them more prominently," said Patel, who has been on frequent visits to the state.

Polling in Rajasthan will take place on December 7.
