Tourism and Culture Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat
Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, Minister for Tourism and Culture in the Narendra Modi government, today participated in a conversation and competition with 5 editors of TV 9’s popular show Bharatvarsha. Here, Shekhawat talks about the background of student politics, from the initial days of ABVP to becoming an MP and minister. Some surprising answers were also given.
Shekhawat also narrated how he crafted slogans for himself by linking them with Rajasthani songs. For example – Ayo re ayo…Gajju ayo is discussed a lot. During the conversation, Shekhawat publicly praised Leader of Opposition and Ray Bareilly MP Rahul Gandhi.
When Shekhawat praises Rahul Gandhi!
Shekhawat watched some videos related to Rahul Gandhi in which he participated in different adventure sports. When Shekhawat was asked to comment on this, he said – Just like the way Rahul Gandhi posts videos of Taekwondo, Judo, diving, deep sea diving. They have increased interest in such adventure sports in India and I commend them for that.
Congratulations to Priyanka Gandhi on her election to Parliament
Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra was sworn in as an MP during the winter session of Parliament this week. Priyanka was elected to the Assembly in the by-election held in Wayanad, Kerala, with a margin of over four lakh votes.
Replying to the question, how does Shekhawat view Priyanka Gandhi’s new political scenario, he wished Gandhi all the best.
Shekhawat said the Congress seems to be at a crossroads, especially in the parliamentary debates and it is moving like an unguided missile, in which case I expect his arrival to have some impact.
Sachin Pilot known as popular leader
In a quick round, Shekhawat was asked who is the head of the family, Vaibhav Gehlot or Dushyant Singh? Reacting to this, Shekhawat said that Vaibhav Gehlot is definitely the leader of the family. If someone takes some responsibility after a long journey, then he should not be considered as the leader of the family. So he supports Dushyant Singh. At the same time, he described Sachin Pilot as a more popular leader than Ashok Gehlot.
