Former Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot on Saturday said the central government was misleading the youth and they played no role in the country's freedom struggle.

Speaking in a seminar organised by Rajiv Gandhi Study Circle, as a part of 125th anniversary celebration of Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar, Gehlot attacked the ruling government while not naming any political party in particular.

"They never believed in the ideas of Ambedkar and Mahatma Gandhi. In fact Gandhi ji was killed by an RSS member. However, today they are celebrating Gandhi and Ambedkar for political dividends," said Gehlot, who is also the chairman of Rajiv Gandhi Study Circle.
