Jaipur: Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Saturday warned of renewed attempts to topple elected governments in his state and Maharashtra, and launched a direct attack on Union Home Minister Amit Shah, whom he accused of holding clandestine meetings with Congress MLAs earlier this year.
Speaking at the inauguration of a party office in Sirohi district, Mr Gehlot – whose government was on the brink of collapse in July after a rebel group led by Sachin Pilot (and allegedly backed by the BJP) threatened to pull support – said the MLAs in question had informed him of the meeting.
“They (the BJP) tried to make the Rajasthan government fall. After meeting with Amit Shah and (Union Minister) Dharmendra Pradhan, our MLAs told me they were ashamed to see Amit Shah as Home Minister,” Mr Gehlot said.
