The death toll in the cylinder explosion during a wedding in Rajasthan’s Jodhpur district rose to 32 on Friday, with four more people succumbing to injuries at a hospital here.
Slamming the Congress government in the state, BJP leader Rajendra Singh Rathore said while Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot is yet to visit Bhungra village where the tragedy struck on December 8, his party has organised a celebration.
He was apparently referring to a musical concert organised in Jaipur to mark the 100 days of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi-led ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’. The event was also attended by Gehlot and party general secretary K C Venugopal.
