Amit Shah behind fall of Cong govt in MP, tried to do it in Rajasthan: Gehlot

TIL Desk/National/Jaipur/ Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has accused Union Home Minister Amit Shah of being involved in the fall of Congress government in Madhya Pradesh and trying to do it in Rajasthan too last year. Gehlot made the allegation while referring to the crisis over the stability of his government in 2020 and said the Congress MLAs stayed in hotels for a long time but “the present government is in place only with the blessings of the people”.

“The Home Minister could not do anything,” said Gehlot, without naming Shah. “He had a lot of arrogance over Madhya Pradesh but the people of Rajasthan shattered his arrogance,” asserted Gehlot.”Is it a way to act in a democracy — bringing down governments?’ he asked.

“In which direction the country is going? Nobody knows. Today the Constitution and democracy are in danger. The situation is very serious. Every person will have to think,” the chief minister added. Gehlot made the remarks while addressing a state-level teacher award ceremony at Birla Auditorium here. The chief minister also targeted the Centre over the rising prices of petrol and diesel.
