Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has sacked Rajendra Gudha, who was the Minister of State in his government. Rajendra Gudha has always been famous for his statements. On Friday, Rajendra Gudha gave a statement against his own government in the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly, after which he parted ways with the Gehlot government a few hours later. In fact, while raising his voice against the Gehlot government, Gudha said in the House that instead of Manipur, we should look into our own backyard. After the dismissal of Gudha, Gehlot is on the target of the BJP, while the sacked Rajendra Gudha is also an attacker on him.
Reacting after the dismissal, Rajendra Gudha said that I have been punished for speaking the truth. We helped save the Gehlot government. He said that I contested on BSP ticket and then merged with Congress. I only spoke against injustice, it is not about being a supporter of Sachin Pilot. He said that we have not been able to do anything about the exam and paper leak. The youth of this state are disappointed.
He said, “Rajasthan ranks number one in crime against women. what did i say wrong? I was punished for speaking the truth.
Targeting Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot once again today, he said, “He will seek a one-to-one answer from Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot in the Assembly, if he comes to the House, but the Chief Minister is sitting with a bandage on his feet. He does not come to the house. Does not answer. The home department is with him, if the home department was with a capable person, then the current situation in the state would not have arisen.
After Rajendra Gudha’s statement in the House, there has been an uproar in the political circles. In the election year, Gehlot, who is engaged in making populist announcements, is an attacker on issues including women’s safety and other issues. BJP leaders have become even more vocal after Gudha’s statement.
Leader of Opposition Rajendra Rathore said that Rajasthan is number one in crime against women. Rathore later said in a tweet, “The Minister of the Government, Rajendra Gudha himself, is telling the reality of the atrocities and misdeeds happening against sisters and daughters in Rajasthan. According to Article 164(2) of the Constitution, the cabinet works on the basis of collective responsibility and the statement of the minister is considered to be that of the entire cabinet i.e. the government.
BJP’s Rajya Sabha member Kirori Meena said that Gudha has spoken the truth in the Assembly.
Information and Broadcasting Minister Anurag Thakur alleged, “More than one lakh cases of crime against women have been registered in Rajasthan in the last four years. A total of 33,000 cases are related to sexual harassment of women in Rajasthan.
On the removal of minister Rajendra Gudha in the Rajasthan government, Anurag Thakur said that on the instructions of Congress leader Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot removed the minister because he (Gudha) had expressed concern over increasing crimes against women in the state.
BJP’s IT department head Amit Malviya said on Twitter, “Ashok Gehlot sacked minister Rajendra Gudha from the cabinet for speaking the truth! This only shows how serious the Congress is about the oppression of women.
