Rajasthan turmoil: Vasundhara Raje speaks up Former Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje has spoken for the first time on the political turmoil in Rajasthan, saying that it was unfortunate that the state was paying for the discord in the ruling party. "It is unfortunate that the people of Rajasthan are paying for the discord within the Congress," she said, and went on to list the problems the state was grappling with. "At a time when Covid-19 has claimed more than 500 lives and positive cases are close to 28,000. At a time when locusts are attacking the farmers' fields, at a time when crime against women is at an all time high, at a time when there is a problem of electricity," she told reporters. Meanwhile, hours after the BJP demanded a CBI enquiry into alleged phone-tapping of Rajasthan legislators, the Congress said the BJP had admitted, in front of the entire nation, its role in the "conspiracy" to topple the Ashok Gehlot government. Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera said in an online press conference that BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra had openly admitted to his party's part in "murdering democracy" in Rajasthan. "Their only grievance is that when they were murdering democracy why were they getting recorded. This is like a murderer accusing the witness of violating his privacy while he was committing the crime," Khera said. In a related development, the Rajasthan Pradesh Congress Committee said the ruling party has a "comfortable majority" in the Assembly and demanded the resignation of Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat. The Congress has alleged that Shekhawat has been caught on tape negotiating with rebel Congress MLAs. Also, after the Special Operations Group (SOG) of State police, now the Anti-Corruption Bureau has also registered a case in connection with horse-trading of MLAs. Interestingly, today BSP chief Mayawati also weighed in on the ongoing saga. In a series of tweets, she accused the Rajasthan chief minister of openly violating the Anti-defection Law and cheating the BSP by getting its MLAs included in the Congress. She added that Gehlot had committed another illegality by resorting to phone-tapping. She urged Rajasthan Governor Kalraj Mishra to take note of the political instability in the state and recommend President's Rule. This is the second time in the past few weeks that Mayawati has publicly taken a stance favouring the BJP on a burning issue. She had recently said, amidst widespread criticism of the government's handling of the Chinese incursions in Ladakh, that "the BSP stands with the BJP" on the India-China border issue.
