“The public has also understood that there is no gap between Congress' words and actions, but there is a difference between BJP's words and actions. So we are not going to be distracted by their allegations. Nor is the public going to be disturbed,” he said.

Bhaya also dismissed remarks by former chief minister Vasundhara Raje, which she made during her visit to Baran on Wednesday, questioning the Congress on the development carried out in the state.

“Congress believes in doing development, while the BJP does politics over development,” he said.
