Ashok Gehlot

Ashok Gehlot

Ashok Gehlot (born May 3 1951) is a leader of Indian National Congress party. He was chief minister of the Indian state of Rajasthan from 1 December 1998 to 8 December 2003. Earlier he was an MP in the Lok Sabha & was a junior Minister in the central government of India. He hails from Jodhpur City.

Ashok Gehlot as a Chief Minister was alleged to be singly handedly responsible for the worst electoral defeat of the Congress Party in Rajasthan since the first general elections in 1952.

Controversy

In April 2004 a property dealer released a tape to the electronic media in Jaipur that showed three ministers in then Ashok Gehlot Ministry, namely Choggaram Bakolia, Taqiuddin Ahmed and Gulab Singh Shaktawat taking money while promising official favours. The tape also showed deals being struck between Mr Pehalwan, the property dealer and Kanwar Sen Gehlot, elder brother of Mr Ashok Gehlot. [http://www.tribuneindia.com/2004/20040425/nation.htm#22]
