Ashok Gehlot alleges ’BJP-connection’ in Udaipur tailor’s murder

Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Sunday alleged the Bharatiya Janata Party of having connections with the perpetrators responsible for the killing of Udaipur tailor Kanhaiya Lal Teli. As reported by ANI, Gehlot was speaking to reporters on a campaign jaunt to Jodhpur on Sunday, the Rajasthan CM said if the Special Operations Group of the Rajasthan Police had taken charge of the case instead of the National Investigation Agency, the investigation would have reached a more conclusive outcome. Days before the incident, when the police had arrested these accused in some other case and some BJP leaders visited the police station to get them released,” Gehlot said. They just want to stir up trouble ahead of the elections," the CM said, adding, “the people will give them a befitting reply.” The Congress-led government in the western state has pledged an annual honorarium of ₹10,000 for women heads of households through its “Grah Laxmi Guarantee.” Additionally, the Ashok Gehlot administration has committed to providing cooking gas cylinders to 1.05 crore families at a subsidized rate of ₹500 if they secure re-election in Rajasthan.
