Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma has ordered senior leader Ashok Ghalot to submit proof of his allegations or apologise within a day, heightening political tension in Rajasthan.
Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma of Rajasthan issued a stark ultimatum to senior BJP leader Ashok Ghalot, demanding that he either present concrete evidence supporting his accusations against the government or publicly apologise within the next 24 hours. The demand was made during a press briefing in Jaipur, where Sharma emphasized the need for accountability and warned that failure to comply would damage the credibility of the opposition.
Ghalot's allegations, which have not been detailed publicly, have sparked a wave of controversy across the state, prompting intense debate among party members and the media. The CM described the claims as unfounded and insisted that any genuine grievance must be backed by verifiable documentation.
In response, two other senior party figures, Dotasra and Tikaram Jooli, echoed Sharma's call for an apology, questioning the basis of Ghalot's statements and urging him to retract them. Their comments added further pressure on Ghalot to resolve the dispute swiftly.
Political analysts note that the episode could reshape intra‑party dynamics ahead of upcoming elections, as the leadership seeks to project a united front while managing dissent within its ranks.
