Overview

  • On June 27, Gehlot called on Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat to withdraw the defamation case and prioritize securing relief for victims of the Rs 950 crore Sanjivani Credit Cooperative Society scam.
  • Shekhawat responded by highlighting his acquittal by the Rajasthan High Court and accusing Gehlot of using the scam to advance his son’s political prospects.
  • Gehlot reiterated his allegation that a coalition led by BJP ministers Amit Shah, Dharmendra Pradhan and Gajendra Singh Shekhawat attempted to topple his government through cash inducements to MLAs but failed.
  • BJP leaders have consistently denied any internal plot to unseat Bhajanlal Sharma with Chief Minister Sharma questioning Congress’s commitment to the Constitution.
  • The Sanjivani scam, which duped roughly 1.5 lakh investors with promises of high returns, remains under investigation with victims seeking restitution and political leaders at odds over accountability.
