Following the meeting, CM Ashok Gehlot left for the circuit house for the night and noticed a group of people standing near Saraswati Circle. His convoy stopped right next to the group of youth, and he came out of the vehicle to wave at the group. However, the situation turned awkward for the CM as the youth started chanting Modi-Modi. Gehlot smiled and sat back in the vehicle immediately. As soon as the convoy started moving again, the youth started chanting Jai Shri Ram.
This is not the first time Gehlot has faced such a situation. In April this year, Gehlot attended an IPL match between Rajasthan Royals and Lucknow Super Giants in Jaipur. Upon seeing him on the ground, people started chanting Modi-Modi. A video of the incident went viral on social media.
