JAIPUR:

"It is a big thing to complete three terms as a chief minister. It was a miracle that my government survived in the last term. It was the blessing of the high command and your prayers that I completed five years, otherwise the question of completing five years does not arise," said Gehlot while addressing the party workers in Jaipur on the occasion of the death anniversary of the former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi.

"Hardly one or two leaders in the party in India have got as much as I have. To complete three terms as a CM is a big thing. When they (the BJP) decided to topple the government, governments fell in Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka and Maharashtra. In Maharashtra, 50 MLAs went to Shiv Sena," he said.
