Former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has sharply criticized the current state government, labeling the alleged corruption case involving IAS officer Shikhar Agrawal as the administration's most significant scandal. Speaking in Jaipur, Gehlot accused the authorities of crossing the limits of corruption in the handling of this matter.
