Rajasthan: CM targets Gehlot for "fretting & fuming out of shame & helplessness on outcome of municipal elections"

Jaipur, Sep 24 (UNI) Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma today targeted his predecessor Ashok Gehlot for the latter's alleged act of "changing his stances on issues pertaining to municipal polls" and "taking someone's anger out on some innocent one".
In brief chat with the media on sidelines of a function in Bikaner, the Chief Minister said, "Gehlot Sahib ! Fretting and fuming out of shame and helplessness (on outcome of the municipal elections) would deliver no good, better you introspect on your (& the party's) Karma, acts-errors and omissions ; don't hold responsible the people or the bureaucracy or EVMs or the municipal wards and bodies restructuring by our government, rather focus on your (party) own mistakes, lacunae and deficiencies."
Addressing scribes, Sharma quipped, "Please, ask the ex-CM Sahib, why his stances and words narratives have been changing as per his convenience, earlier he used to say the Chief Minister was not supposed to organise road shows for the local bodies polls, then he changed his stance saying that in response to CMs roadshows our party should hava also reciprocated in same vein, with better planning and management."
