Former Rajasthan CM Vasundhara Raje retaliated on Ashok Gehlot’s statement.
Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot (Ashok Gehlot) made a shocking disclosure on Sunday and brought political upheaval in the politics of Rajasthan. Gehlot had said that former CM Vasundhara Raje and two other Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders had helped save his government during the 2020 rebellion by Congress MLAs. After this, there has been an uproar in politics. Reversing Gehlot’s statement, Vasundhara Raje said that assembly elections are going to be held in 2023. Ashok Gehlot is lying because of the fear of defeat. No one can insult me as much as Ashok Gehlot has insulted me. He has been rattled by the rebellion in the state Congress unit.
What did Ashok Gehlot say in Dholpur
In a program organized in Dholpur, Rajasthan, Ashok Gehlot said that three Union ministers Amit Shah, Gajendra Singh Shekhawat and Dharmendra Pradhan conspired together to topple my government. During this, he claimed that these people distributed money in Rajasthan and now they are not taking the money back. I wonder why they are not demanding money back from the MLAs. Gehlot also took a dig at the rebel Congress MLAs, saying they should return the money taken from the BJP so that they can perform their duty without any pressure. He claimed that my government could survive because of the support of three BJP leaders, former Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje, former Assembly Speaker Kailash Meghwal and MLA Shobharani Kushwaha.

There was a rift between Sachin Pilot and Gehlot
In the year 2020, Gehlot’s then deputy CM Sachin Pilot and 18 other Congress MLAs rebelled against his leadership. The month-long crisis ended after the intervention of the party high command. After this, Pilot was removed from the post of Deputy Chief Minister and State Congress President. Sachin Pilot had once again raised questions on the Gehlot government last month itself. He had alleged that why the state government was not probing the corruption that happened during the Bharatiya Janata Party’s rule in Rajasthan. He said that when we go among the people to ask for votes, what answer will we give to the people. Sachin Pilot was also sitting on a one-day hunger strike demanding an inquiry.
