Jaipur: BJP leader Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore's response to the death of a priest in Karauli, Rajasthan came to fore. He has said that no one is safe in Rajasthan today. Rathore said that neither women nor children and priests are safe in the state. An attempt was made to burn the priest of a temple alive in Karauli. The priest later died during treatment. The police have arrested the main accused Kailash Meena, but politics has started on this case.

Rathore, a Lok Sabha MP from Jaipur Rural seat, blamed the Ashok Gehlot government of the state for the incident. He said that a government that stays in a five-star hotel for several months can only protect itself, it cannot protect the people. According to NCB data, Rajasthan ranks first in the crime against women. He said, "I urge Rahul Gandhi to focus on Rajasthan instead of doing politics in BJP ruled states".

Earlier CM Ashok Gehlot also condemned the incident. He wrote in a tweet, "The murder of Babulal Vaishnav in Sapotra, Karauli is extremely unfortunate and condemnable, such acts have no place in a civilized society. The state government is with the bereaved family in this sad time. The main accused in the incident has been arrested. The guilty will not be spared".
