Background
ABP CVoter Survey HIGHLIGHTS: Hello and welcome to ABP Live Blog for the first Snap Poll pertaining to Rajasthan Assembly Election 2022. The Congress-ruled state will witness an election later this year.
Currently, the ruling Congress and the opposition BJP are indulging in a tug-of-war over the law and order situation in the state especially pertaining to crimes against women.
Rajasthan minister Rajendra Gudha was suspended from the Rajasthan assembly on Monday after it saw unruly scenes – including pushing and shoving – over the 'red diary'. He has been targeting Gehlot following his sacking on Friday evening, hours after he cornered his own government in the Assembly over the issue of crimes against women in the state.
He called for a narco test on all ministers in the state on Tuesday, a day after he waved a 'red diary' in the assembly alleging it contained details of financial irregularities involving Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and others.
Gudha held charge as the minister of state for Sainik Kalyan (Independent Charge), Home Guard and Civil Defence, Panchayati Raj and Rural Development.
On Tuesday, the former minister also claimed that he wanted to table the diary in the assembly.
"Narco test is a scientific and trustworthy test. Agencies across the world accept it and even the judiciary accepts it. I am saying that the test be conducted on the entire council of ministers, including me, to reveal the truth about rape and corruption. It will reveal who is lying and who is speaking the truth," he told PTI.
In another controversy, Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot on Thursday alleged the PMO has cancelled his speech at an event in Sikar where Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated various development projects. In a tweet in Hindi, Gehlot listed demands, which he said he would have put forth during his speech, including withdrawal of the Agniveer scheme and a decision on the Rajasthan Assembly's resolution to conduct a caste census.
After this, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said that Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot couldn't attend the foundation laying programme of 12 medical colleges as he was injured. PM Modi also wished CM Gehlot a quick recovery. "CM Ashok Gehlot has been ill for some time now & has injured his leg. He was supposed to attend the program today, but could not due to his health conditions. I pray for his good health," PM Modi said.
