Lokesh Sharma, a former aide of former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, has reignited allegations of phone tapping and the REET exam paper leak just a day before the second phase of the Lok Sabha election. Sharma claimed that Gehlot gave him a pen drive containing audio clips, which were later leaked to the media. He also alleged that Gehlot’s close aides were protected in the REET paper leak case. Gehlot is yet to respond to these allegations.
