Hitting out at the Centre for Rahul Gandhi's disqualification from Lok Sabha following his conviction and sentencing to two years in a criminal defamation case, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Sunday said that the decision came as the government could not answer questions on Gautam Adani.

He also alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party hatched a conspiracy to weaken Rahul Gandhi, whose "popularity was rising" by the 3,970 km-long foot march from Kanyakumari to Kashmir titled Bharat Jodo Yatra.
