I think Gehlot has lost his mental balance," Sharma said.</p>.<p>The BJP leader also insisted that the Congress is now limited to a few states because it ignored the contributions of great leaders like Sardar Patel in the Independence movement and nation-building.</p>.<p>"Gehlot sahab, you need to understand the sentiments of the people. You need to open your eyes and see what were the contributions of our freedom fighters.

This means an untrained government was running Rajasthan for the past one and a half years," Jully said.</p>.<p>“Till now, it was said that the Rajasthan government was being run indirectly from Gujarat. Now, it is being done directly," he alleged.</p>.<p>Jully also said that at a time when the government and the legislative party should be busy making arrangements for electricity, water and medical facilities for the summer months, “they are having fun on the banks of Narmada”.</p>
