Senior Congress leader Ashok Gehlot has waded into the political fray in Rajasthan, calling recent attempts by former Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje to clarify a controversial statement unnecessary.

Raje's comments, perceived as expressions of disappointment over not being chosen as chief minister, have sparked discourse about her standing within the BJP. She previously remarked, 'Mine is gone, I could not save it.'

The BJP state president Madan Rathore also weighed in, suggesting no single person needs to be chief minister repeatedly. Gehlot criticized Rathore's comments, noting that such issues should be addressed by top BJP leadership.
