Addressing a rally in Rajasthan's Abu Road, he took a dig at the Congress infighting and said, "The chief minister does not trust his MLAs, they don't trust him."

Referring to the 2008 Jaipur serial blasts, the prime minister alleged that the Congress government in the state did not fight the case strongly, leading to the acquittals.

He also alleged that there was a complete breakdown of law and order in Rajasthan under Congress's rule.

"Congress govt in Rajasthan is afraid to take action against criminals because of vote bank politics," PM Modi alleged.
