Gandhi Vatika was built during the Gehlot government
Let us tell you that Gandhi Vatika Museum was built during the Gehlot government, which was inaugurated by Rahul Gandhi and Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge in September last year. However, after the BJP government came to power in the state, Gandhi Vatika Trust was abolished. Congress was protesting against this. Former CM Ashok Gehlot had said that he would stage a dharna in Jaipur’s Central Park on September 28.
Gehlot had announced a protest on 28 September
Gehlot had written on the social media platform X, “To protest against this stubbornness of the government and to open the Gandhi Vatika Museum to the general public, I and all the Gandhians will sit on a dharna on 28 September, Saturday, from 11 am to 4 pm at the Gandhi Vatika Museum located at Gate No. 5 of Central Park.
