Rebutting the recent comment made by Congress President Rahul Gandhi, sources close to Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot have claimed that he spent only a fraction of his time campaigning for son Vaibhav Gehlot, who was contesting on a Congress ticket in the Jodhpur Lok Sabha constituency.
Gehlot came under fire after Rahul Gandhi at the CWC meet had blamed some leaders for putting their sons above the party and reportedly expressed unhappiness at the Rajasthan CM spending a week in Jodhpur to campaign for his son and neglecting the state. Vaibhav, who was making his political debut from Jodhpur against sitting MP and Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, lost by over 3 lakh votes.
