MoS slams CM Gehlot for objecting to V-P Dhankhar's Rajasthan visits

Union Minister of State for External Affairs V Muraleedharan on Friday said Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot's objection to Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar's "frequent" visits to Rajasthan reflects he is not interested in the state's development. Noting that Dhankar is the "son of Rajasthan" and of a farmer, Muraleedharan said the visits by the President and Vice President will benefit any state and there is no politics in it. "I am surprised why the chief minister here is objecting to such issue. It reflects that the chief minister is not interested in development and progress of the state," Muraleedharan told the media on the sidelines of inauguration of Rajasthan's second and country's 37th regional passport office in Kota. Gehlot should welcome the vice president warmly, instead of objecting to his frequent visits, he added.
