Gehlot hits out at Modi for making reference to Rajasthan in Manipur comments
The HinduRajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Saturday hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for making a reference to the State in his remarks on the sexual violence in Manipur and said his comments had “hurt the self-respect” of the people of the State. “Imagine what Mr. Modi would have said if Manipur was a Congress-ruled State,” Mr. Gehlot said. Asked about the dismissal of Minister of State Rajendra Gudha following his remarks in the State Assembly drawing parallels between the situation in Manipur and Rajasthan, Mr. Gehlot said it was an “internal matter” of the ruling Congress and the matter was being dealt with at the party level. Mr. Gehlot said Rajasthan had proved to be a “progressive State” with the passage of the Bill on minimum guaranteed income in the Assembly on Friday.
