Union Minister Tried to ‘outrage religious feelings’: Jadawat
At a recently held ‘Jan Aakrosh’ rally in Chittorgarh on Thursday, Shekhawat described Gehlot as the “Ravana of politics in Rajasthan” as he asked people to “resolve to establish Ram Rajya in the state”.
As per the FIR, the BJP organised a meeting at a public place on April 27 where Shekhawat was the key speaker and he gave a speech to “incite” people.
Jadawat told PTI, “I have filed a police complaint tonight against Union minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat for using such derogatory language against the chief minister of Rajasthan. He tried to outrage religious feelings while addressing a BJP rally.”
Jadwat added that the Union Minister spread hatred about popular CM Gehlot to tarnish his image.
