People of the country do not trust "Modi's guarantees" as they have seen what happened to the promises made in the last 10 years, Dotasra claimed at a press conference here.

"Their direct intention is not to conduct elections, if they come into power again. They will make an arrangement by which there will be no necessity to reach out to people to ask for votes, and (then) there will be no need to make promises," the Congress leader said, targeting the BJP.

Dotasra said people do not believe in the "guarantees" made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi as they are never fulfilled.

People do not believe in Modi as he comes during elections and talks about his guarantees and then goes missing, he alleged.

He alleged that "Modi's guarantees are lies and 'jumlas' (rhetorics)".

Dotasra, whose party is part of the INDIA bloc, exuded confidence that the alliance will form government at the Centre and deliver on its promises.

Lok Sabha elections in Rajasthan will be held in two phases on April 19 and 26. In the first phase, voting will be held on 12 seats, and in the second phase, voting will be held in 13 seats.
