Will perform magic tricks to earn money, but won't let people down: Gehlot

Terming himself as 'Pratham Sewak' of the people of Jodhpur, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Sunday said if the need arises he would earn money by performing magic tricks, but would not let the people of this Rajasthan district down.

The 72-year-old Congress leader was born into a family of professional magicians in Jodhpur.

He made the statement while addressing the people during the inauguration of a newly built road 'Rao Jodha Marg' for the convenience of the tourists visiting the 15th-century Mehrangarh Fort.

While citing his role in the development of Jodhpur, Gehlot said he had become the MP for the first time 42 years back.

"What was Jodhpur then? No water, no train. But today, it has water, electricity, trains, roads, education and health infrastructure. I left nothing to be desired in these years," he said.

He said if somebody does a research on Jodhpur, they would learn about its development and see what Jodhpur was and what has it become now.
