Ashok Gehlot's big statement on Lalu Prasad Yadav - 'The country is watching, even before the elections...':

News Topical, Digital Desk : Just before the Bihar Assembly elections, former Chief Minister and former Union Railway Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav, former Chief Minister Rabri Devi, and former Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav have suffered a major setback. The Special Justice Court at Rouse Avenue in Delhi framed charges against former Railway Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav under sections 420, 120 of the Indian Penal Code and the Prevention of Corruption Act (PC Act) in the IRCTC hotel corruption case.

It remains to be seen how much impact this issue will have on the Bihar elections. Meanwhile, a statement from former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has also surfaced regarding this issue.

Questions raised about the activism of courts and agencies before the elections

Responding to a question about the framing of charges against Lalu Prasad Yadav in the IRCTC scam just before the Bihar elections, Ashok Gehlot said, "That's what's surprising. The courts become active before the elections. The CBI and ED become active before the elections."

Ashok Gehlot said that in a democracy, it is said that everyone should have equal opportunities. That is why this code of conduct is implemented to ensure that everyone has equal opportunity to contest elections. That is why the code of conduct is implemented. What difference would it have made if you had presented the charge sheet in the CBI court a month later? Or four months before the elections?

Ashok Gehlot said, "The elections have begun, the notification has been issued. Now you are calling people and presenting them with challans. What should we say about this? The country is watching. When the time comes, we will get a befitting reply. Now the public will teach those in power a lesson."
