Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot’s OSD Lokesh Sharma resigns

JAIPUR: Lokesh Sharma, OSD to chief minister Ashok Gehlot, tendered his resignation to chief minister Ashok Gehlot on Saturday. Sharma said he offered his resignation in the wake of a controversy that had erupted over his tweet ahead of the political developments in Punjab.
His tweet in Hindi roughly translated in English is, “The strong is being forced, the insignificant is being strengthened, when the fence is eating the crops, who can save such a field.” His tweet has been interpreted as a criticism of the Congress central leadership, which forced a change in the leadership in Punjab.
