'Magician' Gehlot's 'magic' has ended, says Union Min Gajendra Shekhawat as BJP leads in Rajasthan poll result trends

Taking a jibe at Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, Union minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat on Sunday said that people have come out of the spell of the “magician” in the state. The statement came after the initial poll trends gave an edge to the BJP in Rajasthan.

“The ‘magic’ has ended and Rajasthan has come out of the spell of the magician. People have voted for the honour of women and the welfare of the poor,” he said.

Gehlot was born into a family of magicians and assisted his father during his tours.”People have failed the guarantees of Congress. They have voted to throw corrupt Congress out,” Shekhawat said.

He asserted that the BJP will be forming the government in the state with a huge mandate. As per the Election Commission of India website, BJP is leading in 99 out of 199 seats while the Congress is leading in 77 seats.
