Former Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot accused the BJP of delaying the Pachpadra refinery project by sharing 2013 foundation stone laying images. This follows a statement from Chief Minister Bhajanlal.
Rajasthan's political landscape has become animated over the Pachpadra refinery project. The controversy reignited after former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot shared photographs from the project's foundation stone laying ceremony in 2013.
Gehlot alleged that the present BJP government has stalled the project for years. He presented the 2013 images as evidence of the Congress party's commitment to the refinery, implying a lack of progress under the BJP's tenure.
This development comes in the wake of a statement made by the current Chief Minister, Bhajanlal. The exchange highlights the ongoing political tussle between the Congress and the BJP regarding the development and execution of key infrastructure projects in the state.
