Congress MLA accuses Rajasthan government of phone tapping; BJP corners CM Gehlot

Congress MLA Ved Prakash Solanki, a Sachin Pilot loyalist, has accused the Rajasthan government of CM Ashok Gehlot of tapping the phones of legislators.

The rift within the Rajasthan unit of the Congress seems to be widening. A legislator from the Sachin Pilot camp has now accused the state government of tapping the phones of MLAs. Congress MLA from Chaksu in Rajasthan's Dausa district, Ved Prakash Solanki said 'many officials' told him that the phones of legislators were being tapped. There are also efforts underway to "trap" MLAs, alleged Solanki. Solanki is considered to be close to Rajasthan Congress leader Sachin Pilot.
