Local Congress leader Pramod Sharma holds a black flag while the police and BJP workers persuade him to call off the protest

KOTA: Jhalawar Congress workers led by Pramod Sharma, who contested the previous parliamentary election against sitting Jhalawar MP Dushyant Singh, protested against former chief minister Vasundhara Raje in her constituency Jhalawar and tried to show a black flag on Kisan Bhawan Road while Raje’s convoy with supporters was passing through the road from Kolana airport on Tuesday evening. However, police and local BJP workers held Sharma and his supporters aside before Sharma could display the flag.
Sharma, however, claimed he managed to show the black flag to Raje as a mark of his protest against the mother–son duo’s ignorance to the their constituency, where they were returning after 2 years.
‘The mother–son duo returned to Jhalawar after two years and we have vowed not to allow the two to enter Jhalawar as Raje and Dushyant have ignored their constituency and have had a rude attitude to local people,” Sharma said, claiming the two local public representatives did not even turn up in Jhalawar during the pandemic and never bothered to take care of people.
A large number of Congress workers staged an aggressive demonstration against Raje’s visit with high pitched slogans – ‘Vasundhara go back’ and showed black flag as mark of protest to her visit, Sharma claimed.
In a statement, Raje said tussle between Congress ministers and government officers was harming the farmers who are valready suffering because of monsoon flooding. “Even Congress ministers are saying 80-90% crops in Hadauti region have been damaged because of incessant rains over the last week. Officials, however, are claiming damage of just 30%. This tussle is affecting relief work,” said Raje.
