"People Want To Vote Out Gehlot Government": Union Minister To NDTV | Read

A "cuppa with (Chief Minister) Ashok Gehlot" and a chance to learn "magical qualities from the magician" who has loomed large over Rajasthan's political landscape for over four decades - these are on Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat's cheeky wish list for after Saturday's election, which is widely seen as a straight fight between the ruling Congress and opposition BJP. In an exclusive interview with NDTV, the senior BJP leader declared he had been waiting to have a cup of tea with Mr Gehlot, and hoped to do so after the elections, when he will be free because "the entire society is standing together to remove the Ashok Gehlot government". "I want to learn something from the jadugar (magician)," he said, underlining confidence within the BJP ahead of polling this weekend in a state that has voted out the incumbent every time since 1993.
