Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat Criticizes Congress, Former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot

Union Tourism and Culture Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat arrived in Jodhpur on Monday. During an interaction with the media at the airport, he lashed out at former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and the Congress. On the Congress movement, Shekhawat took a sharp jibe, saying that in the first movement, someone climbed an elephant, someone on a horse and someone on a camel, but now some people are agitating on a cockroach. His statement can heat up the political atmosphere. On the question of former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot calling the government a failure on every front, Shekhawat said that elections are the measure of the success and failure of any government in a democracy. He questioned the Congress's electoral performance, saying that the party's performance has been weak in the elections held across the country. Shekhawat described the Congress's comments as political and baseless. Referring to the Rajasthan civic elections, he claimed that the BJP won in about 70 percent of the bodies in the state, while the BJP was victorious in 36 out of 41 bodies in western Rajasthan.
