Former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has claimed that a deep-rooted conspiracy is underway within the BJP to remove current Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma from his post.

Addressing the media, Gehlot said, “There is a terrible conspiracy going on to remove Bhajan Lal Sharma. He is unaware of what’s happening around him. His own party leaders—both in Delhi and Rajasthan—have started working against him. If he continues to ignore this, he will pay a heavy price.”

“A young man and a first-time MLA has been given the chance to become the Chief Minister. That’s no small thing. They should maintain him instead of constantly plotting changes,” he said.

Criticising the BJP government’s performance, Gehlot accused it of failing to deliver on basic services like pensions, salaries under NREGA, electricity, and water.

“There’s no work being done. People are not getting pensions for four months. NREGA workers have not received their wages for nearly four-five months. Power cuts during the summer were unbearable, and despite warnings of a water crisis, nothing was done,” he said.

Taking a dig at Sharma, the former Chief Minister said that the CM is completely unaware of the sufferings of the common people.

“The ground reality in Rajasthan is dire. The public is crying for help. If Sharma starts holding public hearings, he will know what the people really want. Let him speak privately to his workers as they can tell him the truth,” he said.

Gehlot defended the Congress’s recent criticism of the BJP government, saying that it reflects genuine public grievances and feedbacks.

“We’re in the opposition and raise issues based on public sentiment, media reports, and feedback. It has just been a year and a half. We are just putting forward the problems being faced by the public,” he said.
