Sacked Rajasthan Minister and BSP-turned-Congress MLA Rajendra Singh Gudha has joined Shiv Sena, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde announced
Sacked Rajasthan Minister and BSP-turned-Congress MLA Rajendra Singh Gudha has joined Shiv Sena, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde announced on September 9.
Addressing a gathering in Mr. Gudha's Assembly constituency, Udaipurwati, in Jhunjhunu district, Mr. Shinde welcomed the former Rajasthan minister to the Shiv Sena and said Mr. Gudha left the ministerial position for the cause of people.
“Gudha has come to Shiv Sena. I welcome him to Shiv Sena family,” Mr. Shinde said.
Mr. Shinde said that Mr. Gudha spoke about the safety of women and law and order and he was removed for it. “What wrong did he say?” the Maharashtra Chief Minister said.
Mr. Gudha, who was the minister of state for panchayati raj and rural development, was dismissed from the post in July after he cornered the Ashok Gehlot-led Congress government in the State Assembly drawing parallels between sexual violence in strife-hit Manipur and crimes against women in Rajasthan.
Following his termination, Mr. Gudha claimed he had a 'red diary' that contained details of alleged illegal transactions by Gehlot.
Mr. Shinde said that Rajasthan needs improved law and order, safety of women, job opportunities for youths and progress of farmers.
