◑ Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok

Gehlot on Saturday urged Prime
Minister Narendra Modi to take
stock of the happenings in
Rajasthan, where a political crisis
has rumbled on for most of last
month. The Congress-led state
government has accused the BJP
"horse trading" and trying to
topple it.

"The Prime Minister

should stop the
'tamasha' going on in
Rajasthan. The rate for
horse-trading has
increased here. What
'tamasha' is this? We
have no personal
quarrel with anyone. In
a democracy, ghts
happen over ideology,
policies and
programmes and not for
toppling a government.
Modi should get the
drama which is going on
in Rajasthan ended.
