New Delhi - Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Arun Jaitley on Wednesday said that Vasundhara Raje and Narendra Modi are a winning combination for the Rajasthan state assembly elections to be held on December 1. “BJP has a winning combination in poll bound Rajasthan with the leadership of Vasundharaji and Modiji,” Jaitley told media here. The upcoming election in Rajasthan is being seen as a litmus test for both the BJP and the Congress ahead of the 2014 general elections. Rajasthan is currently governed by a Congress Government. The counting of votes will take place on December 8. Modi had earlier said the development in Rajasthan has come to a standstill under the Ashok Gehlot-led regime. Addressing a rally here recently, Modi criticised the Gehlot Government for ignoring the tourism sector of the state, which he said is a huge revenue generator. "Due to the poor policies of the Gehlot Government, the number of tourists visiting the state is decreasing day by day. It is an issue of serious concern," he added. Reminding people about the steep rise in prices of basic commodities, Modi accused Congress leaders of acquiring a mastery over making big promises and not fulfilling them. "People must reply to the Congress by not voting for them in the coming assembly election," he added. Targetting the Congress-led UPA Government at the Centre, Modi said all politicians debating on development are now forced to give the example of Gujarat. "Wherever there is an election, the discussion always veers around to the Gujarat example," he said.
