Ashok Gehlot / In the presence of Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar, Ashok Gehlot took a jibe, said – what magic did Mamata do on Mamta?

Ashok Gehlot: Everyone is aware of the tussle between CM Mamata Banerjee and former Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar in West Bengal. There was a time when Jagdeep Dhankhar had questioned every decision of Mamta and strongly reprimanded the government for the violence, but when she contested for the post of Vice President, Mamta instead of going against her, it was better to avoid the election process. Now Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot took a jibe at Jagdeep Dhankhar about this matter. Gehlot asked in the presence of Dhankhar, what magic did you do on Mamta?

Gehlot questioned Dhankhar

In the felicitation ceremony of Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said that I have a relationship with you for 50 years. I have a relationship with you since NSUI era. I want to understand one thing from you. As long as you were the Governor of West Bengal, there was a lot of discussion between the Chief Minister and you. There hasn't been a day in three years when the two of you haven't discussed it. Even after this, what magic did you do that Mamta Banerjee made the MPs of her party absent to make you win the election. I am a magician, is there any magician greater than me in India? The whole country was taken by surprise when Mamta Banerjee kept MPs absent. Even after crossing all limits, your political relations remained good and you won the election comfortably. Just tell me this secret.

Vice President Dhankhar gave this answer

Responding to Gehlot's quip about Mamta Banerjee, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar said that Gehlot ji has asked what is that magic, due to which Mamta Banerjee took that decision. I am beyond politics. How and on what basis political decisions are taken, only Ashok Gehlot and Vasundhara Raje can throw light on this. After becoming the candidate for the post of Vice President, I told Mamta Banerjee, now I am not the Governor of your state. Think with your hands on your heart, have I ever done any work against the purview of the law and the constitution. No matter what both of us (Jagdeep Dhankhar and Mamta Banerjee) have said, whatever the situation may have been, have they said a single word while taking a dig at their dignity.

Although the entire conversation in the congratulation ceremony was done in a funny tone, but during this time Ashok Gehlot made the atmosphere interesting by mentioning the tussle between Jagdeep Dhankhar and Mamta Banerjee.
