Raj CM reiterates accusations against predecessor Gehlot; dares three-time ex CM to prove allegations false

Jaipur, Nov 5 (UNI) Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma has reiterated all accusations he made on Tuesday against his predecessor Ashok Gehlot and dared the latter to prove the charges false or baseless.
Addressing at public meeting at the Ramlila Maidan here Thursday under the "Loktantra Bachao - Arajakta Bhagao" campaign, CM Sharma asked, "Gehlot Sahib, didn't you get nominated the person in (my) reference, into the Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC), isn't he jailed, didn't the Jal Jeevan Mission(JJM) scam take place, was your erstwhile cabinet colleague not put behind the bars who is released on bail recently, was your PSO not caught and jailed. "Don't you remember your OSD exposed your acts against your rivals / adversaries during your previous regime, even the then Director General of Anti Corruption Bureau (ABC) spoke against you", he said.
“I am unable to understand what you want to hear from me; but, I do assure you, I shall respond in the same vein, each and every question (accusation) posed by you. Aap Jo Kahenge Uska Jawab Doonga, Usi Bhasha Mein, Kisi Bhi Tareh Ki Kasar Nahin Chhodunga",
"I do say you (Gehlot) bank upon falsehood, but, you declare me (CM) wrong, let it be concluded who is liar, you prove your point, I shall reply in same vein", Sharma asserted.
The Chief Minister two days ago launched a lethal verbal assault against the three time CM Gehlot, lobbing strongly worded pot- shots, alleging nepotism, corruption, falsehood and links of copying-paper leak mafia with CMO under the latter’s previous regime.
Soon after Sharma's outburst at the Loktantr Bachao- Arajakta Bhagao rally in Jodhpur, ex-CM Gehlot Tuesday evening itself refuted his successor's accusations as unfounded, false and unwarranted and urged him to either substantiate his charges with documentary evidence or tender apology within 24 hours.
After the lapse of 24 hours, Gehlot wrote another post on social media "X" handle Wednesday night,writing "I was thinking that when I opened a fertilizer - seed shop in Pipad, which I closed just six months later, took admission in Jodhpur University to study, and even contested the student union president's election ; at that time you (Sharma) must have been a five year old boy. So where did these thoughts come into your mind? On what basis did you level such fabricated accusations ?
"After the personal and false allegations you made against me yesterday, I thought perhaps you would realize your mistake and express regret. That's why I even gave you 24 hours, but you did not do so. Differences are obvious and acceptable in politics, but the sanctity of high postition (post) need due facts-check and verification before leveling accusations," Gehlot asserted.
