Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Monday opposed the Sabarmati Ashram redevelopment project, saying the Gujarat government’s decision to construct a museum by “demolishing” the ashram is shocking and uncalled for.

The Gujarat government has proposed to redevelop Sabarmati Ashram under the R1,200 crore ‘Gandhi Ashram Memorial and Precinct Development Project’. Gehlot called the redevelopment demolition, though the authorities haven’t said this was being done.
