Vasundhara Raje goes on a preemptive action overdrive during Sonia Gandhi's Kota visit

Rajasthan CM Vasundhara Raje went on a preemptive action overdrive as soon as she heard of Congress chief Sonia Gandhi's March 20 visit to the state to meet hailstorm-affected farmers in Kota district. Raje promptly adjourned the Assembly session and urged all 200 MLAs to visit their constituencies. In media interviews on D-day, she hit where it hurts the most.Referring to Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra, she said, "Those making money from farmers' land should not talk about their pain." The result: Gandhi was relegated to the sidelines by the media.
