The situation remains tense amidst the Rajasthan 'bandh' on Wednesday, called by Karni Sena over the murder of chief Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi shot dead at home Tuesday. The BJP has claimed the murder to be a "revenge plan" of the Congress for its poll loss. On December 3, Gogamedi wrote on social media X that the Congress lost Rajasthan because it 'ignored Karni Sena'. On Tuesday, three bikers came to Gogamedi's Jaipur house and shot him after having tea with him. The incident took the state by storm as CCTV footage of the shooting was made public. Calling for a Wednesday bandh Karni Sena supporters are resolute for a statewide stir if action is not taken. Congress and BJP figures like Ashok Gehlot and Vasundhara Raje slammed the violence amid BJP government formation. While the BJP pins the murder as Congress's 'revenge plan', Congress leader Supriya Shrinate termed it as the "return of jungle raj" with BJP taking over the reins of the state.
