Rajasthan: Gajendra Singh Shekhawat-Mahesh Joshi rivalry turns into poster war

JAIPUR: The war of words between Congress chief whip Mahesh Joshi and Union Jal Shakti minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat has turned into a poster war.
Shekhawat’s supporters staged a protest here on Monday against Joshi by putting up posters projecting Singh as an elephant while one of the three dogs on the left screaming ‘Should I send the ACB address?’. Joshi had recently tweeted the same statement in response to Shekhawat’s dig on him while the former was in Delhi.The other two dogs screaming ‘Shekhawat should give resignation’ and ‘voice sample’ again directed at Joshi who is repeatedly seeking Shekhawat’s resignation and voice sample over a controversial audio.
The audio file leaked last year allegedly had Shekhawat talking to former deputy CM Sachin Pilot’s aide Bhanwar Lal Sharma to topple the government. However, Shekhawat has been denying the charges. Shekhawat on June 25 tweeted a photo of Joshi with Congress national in-charge with an address of Delhi Police Headquarters tasking him to visit as he is in Delhi. Joshi swiped back at him by asking him if he doesn’t know the address of Rajasthan ACB, he would send him. Recently, Joshi was summoned by Delhi police for his role in the ‘illegal’ phone tapping of elected representatives.
