Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said that the BJP accuses us of not being Hindus, not being cow worshippers. There is no substance in these allegations. We have done the most work and provided the most funding for cows. Relief has been given to employees from the OPS. Next time, we will enact a law that no OPS can be terminated.
On Friday, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot addressed an election rally in support of Congress candidate Badriram Jakhar in Bali’s Gangaur Maidan. He said that whatever was demanded of me, I did not refuse. I had said that you will get tired of asking, but I will not get tired of giving. The MLA here may have been stingy in asking. I cannot do anything about it. We have created history by creating 20 new districts. Gehlot arrived at the meeting two hours late from his scheduled program.
Congress worked for every front: Chief Minister
Ashok Gehlot said, “In the last five years, we have done so much work that Rajasthan is ahead of the entire country. A separate budget was presented for the farmers. The government has done a lot of work in water, health, and education. 1.5 lakh kilometres of roads have been built. 1 crore elderly, women, widows, and disabled people are being given a pension of Rs 1,000. We have arranged that the pension will increase by 15 per cent on its own. You won’t have to demand it. This will increase social security. This pension is being received as a mark of respect.”
Congress fulfilled every promise made: Gehlot
The Chief Minister said, “Our government has given 10 guarantees. During the time of the lump sum disease, farmers were given compensation of Rs 40,000. Now we are getting insurance for cows. Ration kits are being given in the Annapurna scheme. People get relief in the age of inflation. Gas cylinders are being given in the Ujjwala scheme for Rs 500. The electricity bill of one crore people is coming to zero. Everyone is being given 100 units of electricity free. Farmers are being given 2,000 units of free electricity. We have fulfilled whatever promises we made to various sections, including farmers and students.”
CM Ashok Gehlot said that whatever was demanded of him, he did not refuse. He said, “I had said that you will get tired of asking, but I will not get tired of giving. The MLA here may have been stingy in asking. I cannot do anything about it. Patta is less in the villages. For this, the administration will make a plan with the villages. So that pattas can be obtained in the villages. People demand that Bali be made a district. Now our government has created 20 districts, which is history in itself. Our thinking is that more and more districts should be created so that problems do not have to go far. He also mentioned his schemes and said, “We have given seven guarantees now. We have given mobiles to 40 lakh women during the lump sum. We will give mobiles to the remaining women afterthe elections. In which there will be free internet for 3 years.”
They defame us that we are not Hindus, not cow worshippers: CM
The Chief Minister said, “Our government is a government that serves the cow mother. We have created a separate department for cows. We gave compensation of Rs 40,000 during the lump sum. We are insuring cows now. A bonus of Rs 5 is being given on milk. The previous government allocated Rs 500 crore for cows. We have allocated Rs 3,000 crore. They defame us that we are not Hindus, not cow worshippers. There is no substance in these allegations.” He also talked about the OPS and said, “Relief has been given to employees from the OPS. Next time, we will enact a law that no OPS can be terminated. During the Corona period, the government did excellent work. Due to the lack of oxygen, no one was allowed to die. Many schemes have been made for all sections. Based on the same work, our government will be repeated. “
The BJP’s MLA Pushpendra Singh Ranawat has been holding the MLA seat for the past 25 years in the Bali assembly constituency. This time the Congress party has fielded Badri Ram Jakhar to run against Ranawat. Congress candidate Badri Ram Jakhar targeted the BJP saying, “The BJP MLA has been here for 25 years. But so far, nothing has been done for the people.”
Apart from him, Gogunda candidate Mangilal Garasia, Janwa society religious guru Chhotu Maharaj alias Santos Das, and Naresh Nath Dantivada were present.
