Just in: Vasundhara Raje sworn in as Chief Minister of Rajasthan by Governor Margaret Alva.

Yesterday, Raje, called the Congress garbage that has been cleaned from the state. The comment was made at a rally in the Churu constituency from where party candidate Rajendra Rathore was contesting.

The assembly poll in Churu was cancelled on December 1 following the death of a Bahujan Samajwadi Party candidate after filing his nomination. Rathore, who spoke before Raje, termed the Congress garbage and told the gathering, "It is a matter of happiness for us that Vasundhara-ji is here after cleaning garbage like the Congress from the state."

When the BJP's Churu candidate finished his speech, Raje came to the dais and said, "Rajendra, I have not removed the garbage (Congress), it is the people of Rajasthan who cleaned it."

"Now, Ashok Gehlot is not a magician, it is the people of Rajasthan who are,' said Raje referring to chief minister Ashok Gehlot, who comes from a family of magicians.

In Rajasthan politics, Gehlot was considered a magician.
