Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot accuses BJP of cancelling 75 trains to suppress protest

Jaipur, Rajasthan – Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot launched a strong criticism of the Bharatiya Janata Party, claiming that the party ordered the cancellation of 75 train services across the state. Gehlot said the move was intended to cripple a protest that is currently gathering momentum in several districts.
He made the remarks during a press interaction in Jaipur, emphasizing that disrupting public transport would only aggravate public sentiment and undermine democratic dissent. The CM did not specify which routes were affected, but the figure of 75 cancellations was highlighted as evidence of a coordinated effort.
The BJP has not issued an official response to Gehlot's accusations as of now. Observers note that the dispute underscores the heightened political tension in Rajasthan ahead of upcoming electoral contests.
The incident adds to a series of confrontations between the state government and opposition parties over the handling of public demonstrations and service disruptions.
Further developments will be tracked as both sides continue to address the issue in the public domain.
