Rajasthan Police used water canon on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers who were protesting against the Ashok Gehlot-led Government in Jaipur, Rajasthan. The BJP workers held the protest over the alleged corruption, atrocities against women, crumbling law and order and unemployment in the state.
Hitting out the Rajasthan government during the protest, Leader of the Opposition, Rajendra Rathore said that the Ashok Gehlot government protects rapists, corrupts and stays silent on atrocities of people.
“Being the fourth pillar of democracy, the media must show the anger and emotions of the lakhs of people who have come here and the people of Rajasthan have decided to throw out the Ashok Gehlot government who protects rapists, corrupts and stays silent on atrocities of people,” Rathore said.
Earlier on July 30, calling the current state government in Rajasthan the “most corrupt”, Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhwat hit out at the Ashok Gehlot government over the issue of alleged corruption in the state.
In an exclusive interview with ANI, Shekhwat said that the corruption in the Congress government is “at its peak” in the state.

“This is the most corrupt party in democratic Rajasthan. Corruption is so prevalent in the state that even a common man knows that corruption is at its peak… A cabinet minister in the presence of thousands says that our government is the most corrupt government in the history of Rajasthan. Such statements are made in the Vidhansabha as well,” he said.
Notably, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot sacked Rajendra Gudha as minister of state, hours after he criticised his own government over the crimes against women in the state.

However, Shekhawat further said that the instability of the Rajasthan government has put the state in an odd situation.
“The way their MLAs have been rivals in the past shows their incompetency. The people of the state have got to know that this government is unable to function smoothly,” the union minister added.
राजस्थान में कांग्रेस सरकार में भ्रष्टाचार, कुशासन, महिला अत्याचार, दलित अत्याचार, युवा बेरोजगार और किसान परेशान है।

Former state spokesperson, Bhartiya Janata Party, Laxmikant Bhardwaj while speaking with Organiser said, the law and order situation in Rajasthan is vulnerable under the Congress party’s rule. Crime against women is at its peak.
Sharing some data, he said, in the last 55 months of Congress rule, as many as 10 lakh cases of crime have been reported in a state like Rajasthan, which is known for its peaceful atmosphere. Out of these 10 lakh cases, around 1,90,000 cases are of atrocities against women, and over 30,000 cases are of rape. Rajasthan is becoming the hub of crime against women, as of now, 22 per cent of the total cases of rape are being reported from Rajasthan only.
In Bhilwara town, tensions gripped as clashes erupted between two communities over the abuse with a minor Hindu girl. Organiser reported the incident and it came to light that Muslim boys mixed urine with the water in the water bottle of a Hindu girl in school. Later, the principal refused to act and hence the victim’s family reached the Tehsildar’s office demanding action.
In a similar incident, two Islamists impregnated two minor girls within a year in Rajasthan’s Alwar. The police is yet to nab the accused identified as Sappi and Subhan. The father of the girls filed an FIR against the accused at the NEB police stations. The police have launched a hunt to arrest the accused who were absconding.
India is a country with its majority population being Hindus; however, every now and then there are cases of oppression against them. In two recent incidents reported in Rajasthan, a similar mindset is being exposed. In one of the schools in the Alwar district, a Hindu student was thrashed for putting Tilak in school. In the other incident from Jodhpur, families protested after staff at a Christian school tore the poster of Hanumaji in the school.
In a crime that may send chills down your spine, a family of four, including a minor baby girl, were set ablaze after cutting their throats in the Jodhpur district of Rajasthan. The incident occurred in Osain village, almost 50 kilometres from the city. Notably, this accident took place in the home district of the current Chief Minister of the state, Ashok Gehlot. The opposition parties are questioning the CM over the state of “Law and order” in the state.
