In the midst of the upcoming elections in Rajasthan, the state’s political landscape is currently dominated by two significant controversies. The first involves a contentious statement made by Shanti Dhariwal, a Cabinet minister and a staunch supporter of Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot. This remark is alleged to have insulted the women of the state, stirring considerable debate.
Shanti Dhariwal’s Remark
Minister Shanti Dhariwal had issued an apology for his comment made in the House during a debate on police grants. The comment, perceived by many as derogatory towards women, has become a focal point in the ongoing political discourse.
Vaibhav Gehlot’s Alleged Remark
The second issue taking center stage revolves around an alleged statement by Chief Minister Gehlot’s son, Vaibhav Gehlot. According to the BJP, Vaibhav has reportedly claimed that the Congress government led by his father will not return to power. This assertion, supposedly linked to a ‘red diary,’ has become a contentious topic, further intensifying the political narrative.
BJP’s Stance and Modi’s Remarks
The BJP, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has seized upon Vaibhav Gehlot’s alleged statement as a potent political weapon. Modi, in a recent rally, referenced the so-called ‘red diary’ and suggested that it contains a confession from the chief minister’s son predicting the government’s downfall. This narrative has been consistently emphasized by the BJP in its campaign against Gehlot and the Congress-led government.
Ongoing Controversy and Political Dynamics
The controversy surrounding these two comments has persisted, with the BJP actively leveraging it to question the stability and unity within the Congress party in Rajasthan. As the elections draw near, these issues are likely to remain at the forefront of political discussions, shaping the narrative in the crucial weeks leading up to the polls.
The intertwining controversies surrounding Shanti Dhariwal’s comment and Vaibhav Gehlot’s alleged remark have injected a new level of intensity into Rajasthan’s political landscape. With the BJP strategically using these incidents to question the Congress government’s credibility, the state’s political discourse is expected to remain charged in the run-up to the elections.
