JHUNJHUNU (Rajasthan): Sacked Rajasthan minister and Congress MLA Rajendra Singh Gudha joined Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena unit on Saturday.
The political developments come ahead of the Rajasthan Assembly election to be held later this year.
Gudha joined Shiv Sena in the presence of Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde in Rajasthan’s Jhujhunu.
Gudha, later while speaking to ANI, said that he would work with Shinde for the youth and women of Rajasthan.
“With Eknath Shinde, I will work for the youth and women of the state…,” Gudha said.
Gudha was sacked as minister by CM Gehlot after he flagged the incident of four women being found dead in Jodhpur, saying that the Congress government should look within before criticising the Centre over the Manipur situation.
“It is true and should be accepted that we have failed in women’s safety. Instead of Manipur, we should look within ourselves why atrocities on women have increased in Rajasthan,” Gudha had said in the assembly.
Later, he was marshalled out of the Rajasthan Assembly after he demonstrated against the Gehlot government, holding up the ‘Red Diary’. (ANI)
