The credibility of 6 ministers and 16 MLAs of Rajasthan govt led by Ashok Gehlot is at stake in the panchayat polls held in 6 districts of Rajasthan. Not only this, the reputation of 6 independent Congress backed MLAs is also linked to the success of Congress in the state.

Despite differences between Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot, Congress has performed exceptionally well in the three-phased Zila Parishad and Panchayat elections in Rajasthan, winning 355 seats

While the BJP, which was hoping to make a comeback in the state, however, has managed to win 291  seats so far.

Earlier the BJP had achieved a great lead in panchayat polls held in 22 districts of Rajasthan, however, in such a situation, the Congress could also improved its performance in this election.

Elections have been held in the constituency of Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, Ministers – Subhash Garg, Bhajan Lal Jatav, Parsadi Lal Meena, Mamta Bhupesh and former minister Vishvendra Singh.

All eyes on the results of the panchayat elections held in Jodhpur, the largest district of western Rajasthan where the National Democratic Party of Hanuman Beniwal is giving a tough competition to the ruling Congress and the opposition BJP.

The Rajasthan Panchayat polls 2021 are very crucial from Congress point of view. The polls are in discussion because Jodhpur is the home district of Gehlot and also the parliamentary constituency of Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat.

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supremo and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal recieved threating messages today, May 20, which were witten on a poster. These posters were found at two metro stations of Delhi and inside the metro coaches.

Images of the statements appeared on social media, with at least two of them appearing on signboards carrying the names of the Patel Nagar and Rajiv Chowk metro stations, and several of them sticked on the walls of metro stations. However, it is yet to confirm that who did this.

According to a senior police officer, the incident has been brought to their attention and an inquiry has been started.

Following the appearance of threatening graffiti within the metro stations of Rajiv Chowk and Patel Nagar in the nation’s capital, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP were preparing an attack on Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

AAP MP Sanjay Singh claimed claimed that the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) was the hub of the purported plot to target Arvind Kejriwal.

The BJP has been in a panic since Arvind Kejriwal’s release from jail. Right now, the BJP is preparing to strike Arvind Kejriwal with deadly intent. The prime minister’s office is the direct source of this plot. At the Metro stations in Rajiv Chowk and Patel Nagar, an attack threat against Kejriwal ji has been inscribed, according to Sanjay Singh’s statement today.

There have also reportedly been threatening messages scrawled inside metro trains.

AAP leader Atishi said the BJP is afraid of losing the next Lok Sabha elections in Delhi.  She claimed Arvind Kejriwal was targeted by the BJP through Swati Maliwal.

Meanwhile, the MLAs of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has a letter sent to the Election Commission of India (ECI) on Monday and demanded prompt and severe action in response to graffiti that had appeared on the Rajiv Chowk and Patel Nagar stations of the Delhi Metro.

Social media users have also posted pictures of the graffiti. Security guards are stationed 24/7 and these stations are covered by CCTV. Why don’t the cops take any action? The Cyber Cell is where? This indicates that the BJP is behind this, she claimed.

In light of the Lok Sabha elections, Kejriwal was granted interim relief by the Supreme Court earlier this month. On March 21, Kejriwal was taken into custody in relation to his purported involvement in the Delhi excise policy case.
