Rajasthan Minister Avinash Gehlot calls own government ‘parchi sarkar’

Rajasthan minister Avinash Gehlot termed his own BJP government as ‘Parchi Sarkar’ at a public meeting, a phrase earlier used by Congress to criticise the government. This statement has ignited controversy, though the minister clarified it was a casual comment for his audience, referring to opposition critique. This echoes the past selection of Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma via a ‘parchi’ system.
