Rahul’s ‘guarantee card’ won’t work: Fadnavis

ree

Mumbai: Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Thursday pooh-poohed the Congress’ plan to come out with a ‘guarantee card’ ahead of the state assembly elections, and said the ploy failed in Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh.


Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi would be releasing a `guarantee card’ containing the party’s election promises, state Congress leaders have said.


“Rahul Gandhi’s guarantee card did not help Congress retain power in Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh,” Fadnavis told reporters here.


“He should also explain why the guarantee card is not being implemented in Telangana and Himachal Pradesh, as promised. It will fail here too,” the BJP leader added.


On the ruling BJP-Shiv Sena-NCP `Mahayuti’ alliance’s strategy for dealing with rebels who have filed nominations against official candidates, Fadnavis said alliance leaders including NCP chief Ajit Pawar had a meeting at Chief Minister Eknath Shinde’s residence on the issue.


Asked about city BJP leader and former MP Gopal Shetty who is contesting as an independent from Borivali assembly constituency, Fadnavis said Shetty is a loyal and honest party worker who is “assertive” at times. “We are trying to persuade him (to withdraw),” he added.
