CM GEHLOT WOOS YOUTH AND FARMERS

BACHAT. RAAHAT. BADHAT. Three ‘promises’ made by Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, to the people of the State, for presenting a budget based on these three ‘cornerstones’, were finally fulfilled on Friday when the three time Chief Minister of the State, gave his fifteenth budget for the next 365 days of the State.

Focussing ‘Bachat’
Gehlot announced to increase the accidental-cover under CM Chiranjeevi Scheme to a whopping `25 lakh! Additionally, he also announced free electricity till 100 units per month which will also help people in their ‘Bachat’. Women will now be able to travel in roadways buses at half the ticket fare as Gehlot announced 50% discount for women, along with gas cylinders at `500 for 76 lakh families of Raj, among several other ‘savings’ related announcements.

Giving ‘Raahat’
Gehlot announced government jobs for children who lost their parents during Corona pandemic. Another ‘relief ’ announced is the 50% ‘relief ’ in bus fare for various ‘Lakhi-Mela’ across the State, as is the 5% loan grant, if a farmer makes a house at his farm land.

Reimagining ‘Badhat’
Gehlot has taken a crucial decision, of establishing online examination centres across the state at an expense of `250 crore which will effectively break the backs of the paper-leak gangs. But even more crucial is Gehlot’s announcement of a budgetary provision of `13,000 crore for the Eastern Rajasthan Canal project which is 25% of the project cost, interlocking cemented roads in 6,000 villages, increase in the budget of Dang, Magra and Mewat Vikas Board to `40 crore, 1,100 MW lignite based power plant in Barmer, 3 dams for Udaipur and `400 crore budget for strengthening of industrial infrastructure in State are just some of major announcements for the ‘growth’ of Rajasthan made by Gehlot.

All in all, State budget is one that is aimed acting as a catalyst for Raj’s economic momentum and has addressed the hopes and aspirations of all sections of the State.
