On the opposition candidate for the post of Lok Sabha Speaker, Shekhawat said, wherever defeat seemed certain, workers were deployed there

New Delhi/ Jodhpur, Union Minister of Tourism and Culture Gajendra Singh Shekhawat launched a scathing attack on the Gandhi family. On the opposition not allowing consensus to be reached on the post of Lok Sabha Speaker and fielding its own candidate, Shekhawat said that one mirror to see nepotism in Congress is that wherever victory was visible, seats were distributed within the family from Sonia ji, Rahul ji to now Priyanka ji. As if the Lok Sabha constituencies were ancestral property, but where defeat seemed certain, workers were deployed there. He taunted, 'Extreme hypocrisy!!!'

'Emergency' is a 'black day' in the history of independent India

On the completion of 50 years of Emergency, Shekhawat said that the horrific attempt to imprison the public sentiment of India was called 'Emergency', which brought the character of Congress in front of the country and the world. The 'black day' in the history of independent India is to remind us that those who attack democracy and the Constitution cannot stand before the power of democracy.
