Ashok Gehlot

While addressing the students of Rajasthan University, Gehlot asked the students to dream of building the future and work with determination and a positive mindset to achieve success.

He also said there is a good atmosphere in favour of the Congress in Gujarat where a fierce anti-incumbency wave is being seen against the current BJP government.

On Twitter, Gehlot shared a newspaper article about the preliminary probe revealing that out of Rs 2 crore that was allotted, only Rs 12 lac or 6 per cent of the amount was spent on the maintenance of the bridge.

The state government mentioned that it is continuously making efforts to increase the scope of investment of industries in the basic development of the state.

At present, the metro runs from Mansarovar in Jaipur to Badi Chaupar.

Addressing a press conference as part of the Congress's campaign for the upcoming Gujarat Assembly polls, the senior party leader accused the BJP of even "threatening" corporates, who wish to donate to Congress and other political parties.

During their visit, Delhi Chief Minister Kejriwal, who is also the AAP's national convener, and his Punjab counterpart Bhagwant Mann are scheduled to address six rallies.

”Rahul Gandhi started the Bharat Jodo Yatra in protest against rising inflation, unemployment, hatred and violence in the country. In many states, the situation is such that criticising the government has become a crime. Seeing the success of the Bharat Jodo Yatra, even the statements of BJP, RSS leaders have started changing,” Gehlot said in a tweet in Hindi.

He said usually around 25 per cent of MoUs signed in such summits held in various states reach the implementation stage.

In his address at the inaugural session of the two-day ’Invest Rajasthan’ Summit here, Gehlot highlighted that there has been an improvement in the happiness index of the state, which also saw its GDP rise by Rs 3 lakh crore to Rs 12 lakh crore in the last three years.

Speaking at the inauguration and rechristening of a 2.8-km elevated road here as 'Bharat Jodo Setu' on Thursday evening, Gehlot said the name will send a positive message across the country.

He also declared that he cannot remain away from the people of Rajasthan ”till his last breath” and that the Congress government will complete its five years.

Elections to be held on October 17, Grand Old Party set to see the first non-Gandhi president in 24 years.

Ashok Gehlot, who declared on Thursday that he would not contest the election, also announced his support for Kharge after meeting the senior leader at his 10, Rajaji Marg residence here.

Ashok Gehlot's visit comes a day after the Congress issued show-cause notices to three of his loyalists - Rajasthan ministers Shanti Dhariwal and Mahesh Joshi, and Dharmendra Rathore - for their "grave indiscipline".

The three Gehlot loyalists against whom action has been recommended are Cabinet Minister Shanti Dhariwal, Minister and Congress Chief Whip in the Assembly Mahesh Joshi, and MLA Dharmendra Rathore.

Gehlot and Pilot had already clashed over who would be chief minister soon after the Congress won the state election in 2018.

Congress President Sonia Gandhi had on Monday sought a written report on the revolt in Rajasthan from party observers Mallikarjun Kharge and Ajay Maken as the chances of Ashok Gehlot becoming the party chief receded and other names cropped up for the post.

”In the 75 years of Congress history, there has never been a conditional resolution. Resolution is one-line only. Everything is told to the Congress president and then a decision is taken,” Maken told reporters here before leaving for New Delhi.

Sachin Pilot, who is seen to be the main contender for the chief minister's post if Gehlot is elected the party's national president post, has left for New Delhi to meet the high command.
