Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot is once again emerging as a game changer at the national level. Whether the decision to restore the old pension in the state or the decision to give free vaccination to the people, the Gehlot government is seen moving ahead of other state governments. Now the Congress party has started capitalizing on these decisions of the Rajasthan government all over the country. Gehlot’s master stroke of pension restoration has put pressure on the governments of other parties including the BJP to implement these decisions.
Political experts say that Gehlot is playing one master stroke after another and giving the Congress an opportunity to dominate politically at the national level. Due to these issues, the Congress is able to surround the central government, while the BJP-ruled states have also started trying to capitalize on it. With the decisions taken by the state government, the Congress can certainly try to dominate the Modi government and the BJP. But it is not possible to say at the moment how much benefit it will get in the elections. But Congress can definitely create an atmosphere across the country with this.
