Jaipur:

The Congress rally over the price rise will prove to be a factor in the downfall of the Centre's BJP-led government, said former Rajasthan Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot on Saturday.

The Congress will be holding the rally in Jaipur on Sunday.

Mr Pilot said the rally will effect political developments and leave a message that coming times are "bad for the BJP".

"It will become a factor of downfall for the BJP government at the Centre in 2024," Mr Pilot said in a statement.

He said the Centre will have to give answers for seven years' "misgovernance" and take measures to check inflation.

Meanwhile, state BJP president Satish Poonia called the rally a "political hypocrisy" and said the Congress should first talk about the promises it made during the last Assembly elections.

"It is going to be three years for the Congress government of the state, which is known for not fulfilling promises and making false promises. This is its report card and this Congress rally is just a political hypocrisy," Mr Poonia told reporters in Jhunjhunu.
