Ashok Gahlot accused the BJP leadership of being ignored by the party and the public, and warned that the ongoing delimitation process is as perilous as the SIR, potentially undermining India’s democratic framework.
During a public gathering in Jaipur, former Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gahlot directed sharp criticism at the BJP's national president, alleging that both the party hierarchy and the electorate have stopped taking his views seriously. He said the leadership’s dismissive attitude undermines constructive dialogue within the party.
Gahlot further contended that the current delimitation exercise poses a grave risk to the country's democratic fabric. Drawing a parallel with the controversial SIR (Special Investigation Report), he warned that the redrawing of constituency boundaries could be equally destabilising if not handled transparently.
The former chief minister urged political actors to treat the delimitation process with greater sensitivity, emphasizing that any perceived bias could erode public confidence in electoral institutions. His remarks have sparked discussion among political observers about the potential impact of delimitation on upcoming elections.
