Refinery Controversy: Gehlot Challenges Sharma on Modi's Role

Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma has sparked controversy by crediting Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the state's 26% stake in the HPCL-Rajasthan oil refinery project.

Former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot refuted Sharma's claims, asserting that the stake was determined during a 2013 agreement, and accused Sharma of making misleading statements.

Addressing public concerns, Gehlot emphasized the need for factual accuracy and transparency, especially following a fire incident that postponed the refinery's inauguration.
