Mr Gehlot has repeatedly accused Mr Shekhawat, who is an MP from Jodhpur, of being involved in the scam in which numerous investors were duped of crores of rupees.
Union minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat has challenged Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot to an open debate on the allegations levelled by the latter against him on the Sanjivani Credit Cooperative Society scam matter.
Mr Gehlot has repeatedly accused Mr Shekhawat, who is an MP from Jodhpur, of being involved in the scam in which numerous investors were duped of crores of rupees.
Mr Shekhawat has dismissed allegations linking him to the credit society and has also filed a defamation case in a Delhi court against Ashok Gehlot. "I challenge him and his lawyers to stand on any platform in India and argue in front of me," he told reporters in Jaisalmer on Thursday when asked about the allegations levelled by Mr Gehlot.
Gajendra Singh Shekhawat said the chief minister levelled the allegations against him because of the defeat of his son Vaibhav Gehlot in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
