Former Rajasthan chief minister Vasundhara Raje today launched a broadside against incumbent Ashok Gehlot.
Former Rajasthan chief minister Vasundhara Raje today launched a broadside against incumbent Ashok Gehlot accusing him of drying out the state exchequer in the last one year.
The Congress government has failed to set up a milestone in any sector, she alleged.
The Gehlot government indulged in "diversion tactics" on important issues of development and growth of the state and put back Rajasthan in the category of "bimuru-rajya" (sick state", Raje told reporters here on the eve of Panchayati raj elections.
"It was my BJP government that elevated Rajasthan from Bimaru rajya to a surplus state of annual budgets, now in December after 13 months of the rule, Gehlot and his finance secretary disclosed openly that funds and exchequer have dried out," Raje said.
During its tenure, the Congress dropped 13 ambitious plans of her BJP government, she claimed.
"Bhamashah Yojna to benefit 50 lakh families and women, Akshat yojna to provide unemployment wages and financial support, clothes to women working under NREGA, pension to MISA prisoners, and many other schemes were deliberately shelved because it belonged to our tenure," Raje said.
"Despite the Congress rule at the Centre, Gehlot could not get any grant on account of drought relief and assistance on any project," Raje said.
The state government also failed to get 200 days work for NREGA labourers, she claimed.
On the present state policy on quota to Gujjars and economically backward classes in upper castes, Raje alleged the legal wranglings in the High Court led to unrest in the deserving communities as Chief Minister Gehlot did not properly pursue the quota bill at the Centre for inclusion in the ninth schedule of the Constitution.
Crime rate and atrocities against minorities have alarmingly risen in first year of the second stint of the Gehlot government, Raje alleged.
To a query whether she will lead the coming budget session of the state legislative assembly beginning next month, she said, "Let us wait for the session".
When asked whether she will return to the post of leader of Opposition in the state assembly, Raje said she will not comment on this issue at the moment.
