Rajasthan CM framing me to avenge son’s defeat: Gajendra Singh Shekhawat

Union Jal Shakti minister and Jodhpur MP Gajendra Singh Shekhawat said on Sunday that the "fabricated audio clip released last week by the Rajasthan Congress was engineered by chief minister Ashok Gehlot to avenge the defeat of his son in 2019". In the Lok Sabha polls last year for the Jodhpur seat, Shekhawat had defeated Gehlot's son and Congress candidate Vaibhav by about 2.7 lakh votes. The minister said that the contents of the tape were "malicious and defamatory".
