New Delhi: Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot Wednesday wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, drawing his attention to the “desperate efforts being made to demolish elected governments in the states through horse-trading”.
He alleged that central leaders and ministers of the BJP, including Gajendra Singh Shekhawat (Jal Shakti Minister), are trying to topple his government. In a veiled reference to ‘rebel’ Congress leader Sachin Pilot, Gehlot said “some very ambitious leaders of our party are also involved in this act”.
The chief minister cited the example of Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh in his letter and said he was not sure if the prime minister had complete knowledge about those developments.
“I do not know to what extent this is all in your knowledge or if you are being misled. History will never forgive those who participate in such acts. I am convinced that ultimately, along with the truth, healthy democratic traditions and Constitutional values will prevail and our government will give good governance, and will complete the term,” he wrote.
