Attacked the ruling Congress government in the state, Rajsthan BJP chief Satish Poonia said, "Yesterday night there was an attack on an MP and today a doctor couple was shot dead in broad daylight. The Chief Minister should strengthen law and order in the state or else people will take to the streets to protest against the pathetic law and order situation in Rajasthan." - IANS
