On Wednesday, Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat took on the Congress-run Rajasthan government, accusing it of corruption among others, in mid-day meals and mining. The senior BJP functionary alleged that the Ashok Gehlot government is the “most corrupt government” in the state.
Shekhawat said, “The present Ashok Gehlot government is the most corrupt government of the democratic Rajasthan. Not only in mid-day meals, but the corruption happened in mining and others.”
This comes a day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a blistering attack on the Congress government while addressing the ‘Parivartan Sankalp Mahasabha’ in Jaipur.
After the state police found 1kg of gold in the basement of an office in Jaipur earlier this year, the senior BJP functionary said,” This would have happened for the first time in history that gold was found in the cupboard of Yojana Bhawan. After the central agencies started working, more than 16 kgs of gold were found…”
“Whenever there are proceedings held against the corrupt, CM starts saying that the central agencies are being misused,” the Union Minister added.
He also hits out at the Rajasthan government by referring to recently sacked minister Rajendra Gudha’s claim of a “red diary”. He said, “Everyone was together in this game of corruption, but now when the action has started, the minister has been left alone. My sympathies are with him.”
The Congress government has not yet responded to these allegations.
