Jaipur, Jun 2 (PTI) Former Rajasthan chief minister Vasundhara Raje on Thursday accused the Congress government of misusing power to win the elections for four Rajya Sabha seats in the state.
She alleged that police are following each MLA which is a misuse of power that never happened earlier.
However, she exuded confidence that BJP candidate Ghanshyam Tiwari and party-supported media baron Subhash Chandra, who has filed nomination as an Independent, will win the elections.
“The MLAs will definitely make both our candidates victorious by rising above the party line,” she said.
