In Bikaner, Union Culture and Tourism Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat took to the microphone to fire a sharp rebuke at the West Bengal government. He said the state is “going into a total collapse of law and order,” and blamed Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for ignoring rising crime, especially against women. “Women’s safety is in serious danger,” Shekhawat warned. “Crimes happen in broad daylight, and no one feels safe, day or night. This is the result of Mamata Banerjee’s insensitive governance.”
He pointed to a recent incident in which a BJP Member of Parliament was allegedly attacked by Trinamool Congress workers. “It is shameful that such attacks happen under a woman chief minister’s watch. She should act swiftly, but her statements lack empathy and urgency,” he said. Despite the harsh words, Shekhawat expressed confidence that Bengal’s women—mothers, sisters, daughters—would drive a strong democratic response in the next elections.
The minister also talked about Lalu Prasad Yadav and his family, who face charges in the IRCTC scam. While he said the case is “sub judice,” he reminded the public that people in Bihar remember past scandals like the fodder scam. “That’s why people keep pushing the ruling party out of power. The NDA will return strong in the next Bihar election,” Shekhawat added.
Responding to Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge’s son, who demanded a ban on the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Gath (RSS), Shekhawat defended the organization. He described the RSS as a resilient force in India’s nation‑building journey, noting its hundred‑year history and ability to grow stronger through challenges.
On a more local issue, Shekhawat opened up about grazing lands in Bikaner. He called the land “not just a land issue—it’s a matter of faith and identity.” The minister stressed that declaring grazing land “arkaba” is unacceptable and that mistakes must be corrected to protect both public sentiment and ecological balance. He revealed he has already filed a court petition to safeguard the land and will keep fighting for its preservation.
Later that day, the Union Minister paid tribute to Maharaja Ganga Singh on his death anniversary. He praised the king as a visionary who set the stage with projects like the Gang Canal, whose legacy still inspires new generations. He also honored veteran Congress leader Rameshwar Daddi, calling him a true people’s leader who put public interest above party politics and supported the voice of farmers and voters alike.
Shekhawat’s remarks covered a wide range of issues—from law and order in West Bengal to local heritage in Bikaner and national politics—illustrating his broader concerns for India’s governance, security, and cultural identity.
