Gehlot added, "Rajasthan is the only state where there is insurance for everyone."

Gehlot filed his nomination from the Sardarpura Assembly constituency for the upcoming polls on November 25.  The counting of votes for Rajasthan and four other states - Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Telangana, and Mizoram - will take place on December 3.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has accused Gehlot of not disclosing details of two criminal cases in his election affidavit and has filed a complaint with the Election Commission.

"Ashok Gehlot has two cases against him; one is in connection with the land scam, and the other is of looting, rape, and sexual offence, which he is completely aware of, but he did not disclose this information in his affidavit. This is cognizable under Section 125A of the Representation of People Act. We have complained to the Election Commission to take cognizance and take appropriate action," Union Minister Gajendra Shekhawat told ANI on Wednesday.
