Jodhpur, Jun 15 (UNI) union Minister for Tourism and Culture Gajendra Singh Shekhawat today hit back at former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot for latter's remarks about ban on the BJP saying "One can only dream of the imposition of ban on BJP, that now is the largest party of the world".
Talking to the media here, the union Minister was a bit harsh about the 3 timer ex-CM's comment in which the latter had said that "the ruling BJP indulged in provocating Hindutva forces and effecting religion-based polarisation; Had leaders like Indira Gandhi been in power today she (or he) would have banned this (BJP) party".
