Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Wednesday said the accused in the Kanhaiya Lal killing case in Udaipur were “linked” to the BJP and should have been “hanged by now” but the investigation by the NIA was not progressing as it should.

In an interview with PTI ahead of the November 25 state assembly polls, the senior Congress leader also spoke about the party’s prospects in the state, the “red diary” issue and poll guarantees.
