Outgoing Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot criticized the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for the delay in announcing the next chief minister of the state, stating that if the situation were reversed, the BJP would have strongly objected. He expressed frustration with the BJP’s inability to decide on a chief minister even a week after the assembly election results were declared.

Gehlot highlighted the need for a swift decision, drawing parallels to his own experience in the Gogamedi case, where he had to sign a document supporting the National Investigation Agency’s (NIA) investigation. He urged the new chief minister to take prompt action, emphasizing the BJP’s failure to decide on a leader for the past seven days.

The context of Gehlot’s comments revolved around the recent killing of Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi, the chief of the Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena. A special investigation team (SIT) was formed to look into the murder, and Gogamedi was cremated in his hometown in Hanumangarh district.

Gehlot criticized the BJP for lacking discipline and accused them of being unable to announce chief ministerial faces in three states for the past week. He expressed uncertainty about the accusations the BJP would have made against the Congress if the situation were reversed, citing the polarized nature of the elections. Gehlot pledged to work with the incoming administration.

Various prominent figures were emerging as potential candidates for the Rajasthan chief ministerial position within the BJP, including Vasundhara Raje, Diya Kumari, Mahat Balak Nath, and Rajyavarardhan Singh Rathore. Rumors circulated about the BJP’s decision-making process, with Raje visiting BJP leader JP Nadda in the national capital.

The article also touched upon the BJP’s electoral success in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Rajasthan, where they surpassed predictions and secured a significant victory. The results in Rajasthan deviated from some pollsters’ expectations, with the Congress trailing at 69 seats while the BJP appeared poised to form the government with 115 seats.

Gehlot criticized BJP leaders for allegedly polarizing the election and emphasized the importance of focusing on local issues during state elections. He suggested that any concerns about the previous government’s work should have been raised by the prime minister or home minister instead of diverting attention to unrelated matters during the campaign.
