Former Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot's son Vaibhav pointed out that RCA does not have a stadium of its own and international cricket was announced at Swai Mansingh Stadium under agreement with the Gujarat government. But he started work in collaboration with Vedanta Group on a new stadium on Jaipur-Delhi road. He also said that the group contributed Rs 300 crores for the new facility and Rs 60 crores have been spent on construction work so far.

Gehlot took to X (formerly Twitter) and released a statement announcing his resignation.

Gehlot said that his aim was the betterment of Rajasthan cricket and that is why he was elected president once again unopposed. But the new BJP government in the state, led by Bhajan Lal Sharma, started to work against him with a "malicious intent", he accused. He also accused the government of locking the doors of the RCA office in a non-judgmental manner and creating an atmosphere of distrust in the RCA by targeting him. With such activities going against him, he does not want RCA to face any losses and thus he decided to resign from his post. ‘Glad To be Back Doing What I Love’ Hardik Pandya Reacts As He Returns to Competitive Cricket Via DY Patil T20 Cup 2024.
