Who is Rajendra Gudha
Significantly, Rajendra Gudha is one of the six MLAs who won the 2018 assembly elections on a Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) ticket, but later joined the Congress. Gudha is the MLA from Udaipurwati assembly seat of Jhunjhunu district. Gudha contested the elections for the first time in 2008 on a BSP ticket. After that Ashok Gehlot along with the MLAs of his party supported the government. Then in September 2019, 6 BSP MLAs including Gudha joined the Congress.
Gudha has openly supported Sachin Pilot
Rajendra Gudha is considered the leader of the Sachin Pilot group. Recently, an alleged video of Gudha was made public on social media in which he was saying that both Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and Congress leader Sachin Pilot are running after him, so they must have some qualities. Gudha, who joined the Congress after being elected on a BSP ticket, and other MLAs had supported Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot in July 2020 during the political crisis caused by the rebellion of then Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot. However, in the last few months, Gudha made statements in favor of the pilot. Gudha launched a scathing attack on the Congress, alleging that the government has gone ahead of Karnataka’s ‘BJP government with 40 per cent commission’ in the matter of corruption. In fact, while addressing a public meeting of Congress leader Sachin Pilot, he had said, our government is going beyond the 40 percent corruption case of the Karnataka government. Our government has broken all records of corruption.
