"Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot fears a shameful defeat of the Congress party in the 2023 assembly elections. Therefore a few hours before the announcement of the election schedule by the Election Commission and implementation of the code of conduct, these appointments have been made,” he said.

He said that the government has made appointments in various boards also.

Rathore said the chief minister knows very well that he cannot regain the lost support base in Rajasthan by making populist announcements and the formation of new boards.

"No matter how much freebies CM distributes by misusing the government machinery, the Congress party will never come back (to power)," he said.

The Election Commission on Monday announced the assembly poll schedule for Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Telangana and Mizoram.

Rajasthan will vote in a single phase on November 23 and the results will be announced on December 3, along with that of other poll-bound states.
