Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot sacks minister Rajendra Gudha for remarks on Manipur | India News

NEW DELHI: Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot on Friday sacked Rajendra Gudha as minister of state, hours after his remarks on Manipur in the assembly.

“Rajasthan governor has accepted with immediate effect the recommendation of CM Ashok Gehlot to sack state minister Rajendra Singh Gudha,” Raj Bhawan said.
Earlier today, Rajendra Gudha questioned his own government’s performance in reining in the crimes against women, even as his peers slammed the Manipur violence.

During the discussion on the Rajasthan Minimum Income Guarantee Bill 2023 in the state Assembly, Congress MLAs waved placards on the Manipur violence, but the protest did not go down well with Gudha, who sought accountability from his own government on crimes inflicted against women.
“The way we have failed to provide security to women in Rajasthan and atrocities on women have increased, instead of raising the issue of Manipur, we should introspect,” Gudha said in the assembly.
