Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Sunday made a startling admission and said that former CM Vasundhara Raje and two other Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders had helped save his government during the 2020 revolt by Congress MLAs...

Ashok Gehlot further said that he was made the chief minister by the Congress for a third time and it was his duty to take all along and forget past happenings and ensure the return of the party to power in the Assembly election...

He said that these three MLAs, BSP-turned-Congress MLAs and independent MLAs who had supported him and saved his government during the political crisis in 2020 deserved to be made ministers in his government but he could not do so due to political reasons and was sad about it...
