“Shouldn’t be taken seriously” Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said hours after Ashok Chandna, the Rajasthan Minister for Sports and Youth Affairs, Skill Development, Employment, Entrepreneurship, and Disaster Management, tweeted an angry resignation.
He had tweeted “Honourable Chief Minister, I have a personal request to you, that by freeing me from this cruel ministerial post, the charge of all my departments should be given to Kuldeep Ranka Ji because anyway, he is the minister of all the departments. Thank you”.
According to source,Ashok Chandna is believed to be upset with Kuldeep Ranka, a bureaucrat on Mr Gehlot’s team.
Soon BJP chief Satish Poonia took a swipe at the Congress leader, alluding to the assembly elections scheduled in late 2023.
“The ship is sinking…The trends for 2023 have started arriving,” Mr. Poonia tweeted in Hindi.
“Ashok Chandna is a very good minister. He organized a very elaborate sports competition recently. He is facing a lot of responsibilities, maybe he is under some tension and said something. It should not be taken seriously,” Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot said.
“I will speak to him soon and we will see. I haven’t spoken to him yet so I don’t know. He seems to be working under pressure,” he aded.
