The controversial red diary
Mr. Gudha after being sacked claimed that he is in possession of red diary that contains all irregular financial transactions of Mr. Ashok Gehlot. While addressing in Jhunjuna he asserted that during a raid by the enforcement directorate and income tax department at Dharmendra Rathore house, he was able to retrieve the diary. Mr. Ashok Gehlot had asked to retrieve that diary at any cost, he claimed.
Targeting the government, Mr. Gudha said “Send me to prison or shoot me, I will continue to fight for the security of sisters and daughters of the state till my last breath.”
