Former Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot has accused the BJP of exploiting the Kanhaiya Lal murder case for political gain, alleging significant delays in the judicial process.
Former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has leveled serious allegations against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), claiming the party has used the murder of Kanhaiya Lal for electoral purposes. Gehlot stated that justice for the victim's family remains elusive even four years after the incident.
Gehlot highlighted the slow pace of the legal proceedings, noting that only 21 out of 180 witnesses have deposed so far. He suggested this delay is intentional, aimed at leveraging the case for political advantage during elections. The former CM criticized the BJP for not prioritizing the case and questioned its absence from Prime Minister Modi's recent addresses in Rajasthan.
He urged voters to discern the BJP's alleged political strategies, implying that the party is more interested in electoral maneuvering than in ensuring swift and genuine justice for the victim's family. Gehlot's remarks underscore concerns about the prolonged judicial process and its potential politicization.
