The ruling BJP in Rajasthan said today that the opposition Congress was intimidated by the popularity of Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje and was trying to disrupt her statewide Gaurav Yatra using "various means".

Former Rajasthan BJP president Ashok Parnami said Congress national general secretary Ashok Gehlot was "afraid" of Raje's popularity, after a few miscreants pelted stones at Raje's meeting on Saturday in Pipad town of Jodhpur division. Raje and other BJP leaders have accused the Congress of staging the incident. The opposition party has condemned the incident but said it does not adopt such kind of tactics.
