The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) launched a no-holds-barred attack on the Rajasthan government led by Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot over a tractor murder incident in Bharatpur on Wednesday. In the tragic incident, a man was crushed to death by a tractor in the state. While addressing a press conference, BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra said that this shows how Congress is governing the state of Rajasthan. He also attacked Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi saying that she should answer on this.

"A video is viral from Bayana of Rajasthan's Bharatpur where a person named Nirpat was murdered by running a tractor over him... It is not just about the murder of one person...this is about the whole of Rajasthan, it is about all Congress-ruled states. Priyanka Vadra is reaching Rajasthan today... I demand her to visit that village before addressing the rally.. She should go there and suspend the police officials, DM, SP” Sambit said.

“She (Priyanka Gandhi Vadra) has to project that she has the spine to visit Bharatpur where this gruesome incident took place only a while ago. The video that has gone viral across the country and beyond is heart-wrenching,” he added. 

In the said tractor incident a person was bludgeoned to death after a minor fight over a land dispute. A video of this brutality has surfaced, in which it can be seen  that a person was killed by being crushed by a tractor. The accused brutally crushed the man to death by moving the tractor back and forth multiple times.

BJP's Rajasthan President in an attack against Congress said, “Priyanka Gandhi ji, no matter how many announcements you make in Rajasthan, this gruesome murder incident in Bharatpur is telling the truth. Your Gehlot ji's government has done the work of creating this atmosphere of crime in a peaceful state like Rajasthan,” (Translated from Hindi) 

प्रियंका गांधी जी आप राजस्थान में कितनी ही घोषणाएं कर लीजिए परंतु वास्तविकता बयाना, भरतपुर की यह वीभत्स हत्या की घटना बयान कर रही है। राजस्थान जैसे शांत प्रदेश में अपराध का यह माहौल देने का कार्य आपकी गहलोत जी की सरकार ने ही किया है।#झूठी_कांग्रेस_झूठी_प्रियंका pic.twitter.com/o8OzWAWxIu
