Jaipur, November 12: During a press conference, former minister and Congress leader Pratap Singh Khachariyawas criticized the state government for its handling of law and order following the gang-related murder of history-sheeter Vijay Bajiya in the Kardhani area. He alleged that over 40 gangs are operating in Jaipur, with a recovery network being run from within jails. Khachariyawas demanded a response from the Chief Minister, warning that if no answer is provided, Congress will approach the Governor and take to the streets in protest.

Khachariyawas held the press conference at his residence, directly targeting Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma. He expressed concern over the increasing influence of criminals and gangsters in the city, claiming that the police are failing to take effective action against these activities.

No One is Safe: Shopkeepers, Traders, and Families at Risk

Khachariyawas stated that incidents of murder, robbery, theft, kidnapping, and extortion are occurring one after another in Jaipur. He emphasized that shopkeepers, traders, and ordinary families no longer feel safe, as no one knows when or where a murder might happen.

He pointed out that the murder in Kardhani is not an isolated incident. After each crime, the police appear active for a few days, only for another incident to occur shortly after. He accused the government of emboldening criminals and demanded accountability.

Common People Fear Going to Police Stations

The former minister also questioned the behavior of the police. He noted that ordinary citizens are afraid to approach police stations with their complaints due to the lack of proper communication with complainants. He criticized the police’s attitude towards journalists and called for greater accountability from law enforcement.

Government Under Fire for Crime Statistics

Referencing data from the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), Khachariyawas condemned the government for the rise in crimes against women and sexual assault cases. He highlighted that Rajasthan ranks first in the country for such offenses and that crime rates have increased over the past three years. He also noted that Rajasthan leads in gang-related incidents.

Nightclubs Operating All Night

Khachariyawas criticized the operation of nightclubs in Jaipur, stating that during the Congress government, their hours were restricted to 11:30 PM. He alleged that clubs now operate all night, disregarding regulations, and questioned the police’s role in this situation.

Mocking the Chief Minister’s Public Appearances

He mocked the Chief Minister’s public appearances, where he is seen enjoying tea and snacks or celebrating Diwali lights, while the issue of public safety remains unaddressed. Khachariyawas referenced an incident involving a child injured in an accident related to the Chief Minister’s security detail, noting that the Chief Minister has yet to visit the child.

Threat to Approach the Governor

Khachariyawas insisted that the government must respond to the state’s law and order situation. If the Chief Minister fails to provide answers, he plans to meet with the Governor and lead Congress in protests regarding public safety issues.

Comments on UCC and Sonia Gandhi‘s Book

During the press conference, Khachariyawas also addressed the issue of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC), accusing the Modi government of trying to create disputes among communities under its guise. He emphasized that this is not just a matter of one community, but a question of self-respect.

Regarding Sonia Gandhi’s autobiography, he claimed that the government fears her book. He criticized BJP state president Madan Rathore and minister Jawahar Singh Bedham for shifting focus from law and order issues to other topics instead of providing answers.
