Congress MLA Rajendra Singh Gudha, who was dismissed from the Rajasthan Cabinet on July 21, joined the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena in his Assembly constituency, Udaipurwati, in Rajasthan’s Jhunjhunu district on Saturday. He was formerly in the Bahujan Samaj Party. Maharashtra Chief Minister Mr. Shinde was present.
Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot sacked Mr. Gudha hours after he made remarks in the Assembly drawing parallels between the sexual violence in Manipur and alleged atrocities against women in the State. Mr. Gudha later claimed that he had in his possession a “red diary”, which contained incriminating material and details of irregular financial transactions by Mr. Gehlot.
