People have voted for the honour of women and the welfare of the poor,” he said. Gehlot was born into a family of magicians and assisted his father during his tours.“People have failed the guarantees of Congress. They have voted to throw corrupt Congress out,” Shekhawat said. He asserted that the BJP will be forming the government in the state with a huge mandate.
