CM Vasundhara Raje’s priority is yatra & not issues like farmer suicide: Ashok Gehlot

Senior Congress leader Ashok Gehlot too trained his guns on CM Vasundhara Raje accusing her of giving priority to her ‘Gaurav Yatra’ instead of addressing the crucial issue of farmers’ suicides.

The fresh attack by the AICC general secretary comes after a 36-year-old farmer Mangalram Meghwal allegedly committed suicide in the state’s Nagaur district on Saturday. Farmers in state are committing suicide and Raje is carrying out Gaurav Yatra,” Gehlot said a day after terming the chief minister’s rally her vidai (farewell) yatra.

The BJP government has totally failed in providing any relief to the farmers, the former chief minister tweeted. He further said, the suicide of Meghwal was a matter of “huge shame” for the state government. Gehlot was in Jodhpur on Sunday. “Without doing any work, the chief minister was taking out a ‘Gaurav Yatra’ which was a joke and a waste of public money,” he said.
