VHP vows to 'throw out' Gehlot govt in Rajasthan
Monday, April 21 2003 18:17 Hrs (IST)

VHP vice-president Acharya Giriraj Kishore New Delhi: Buoyed by the granting of bail to its leader Praveen Togadia, Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) on April 21 declared it would continue with its trident distribution programme and vowed to oust the "anti-Hindu" Ashok Gehlot government in Rajasthan.

"We compliment the court. We have heard about some rider in the release, we will study it. Our agitation will intensify in Rajasthan. We will throw out the anti- Hindu government," VHP vice president Acharya Giriraj Kishore told reporters.

Accusing Rajasthan government of frequently changing its stance on the arrest of Togadia, he alleged that Gehlot acted against the VHP leader following directions from party president Sonia Gandhi who has "personal dislike" for Togadia.

He said Gehlot, by his action against Togadia, has "forced" the VHP to work for Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the state.

Kishore parried questions whether the VHP would intensify its programmes like trident distribution in other states ruled by the Congress like Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Delhi where elections are due later this year.
