Rajasthan's Social Media Clash: Sharma vs. Gehlot

Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma criticized his predecessor Ashok Gehlot for focusing on social media rather than addressing state issues. At a farmers' conference, Sharma claimed Gehlot neglected Assembly duties while active on X. Gehlot responded, questioning the current government's action on purchasing millets on MSP.

In a sharp critique, Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma accused former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot of prioritizing social media visibility over substantive political engagement. Speaking at a farmers' conference in Bikaner, Sharma highlighted Gehlot's lack of attendance in Assembly sessions, contrasting it with his social media activity.

Sharma implored political leaders to invest time in understanding public grievances rather than relying solely on digital platforms. He drew attention to unmet promises from a Congress leader and stressed the importance of tangible support such as water access for farmers to realize their potential.

In a swift rebuttal, Gehlot reminded Sharma of his past demands for crop procurement on MSP during a Congress tenure, challenging the current government to fulfill similar promises reflected in their manifesto.
