바카라 웹사이트Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Monday launched a project to build roads in 1,514 villages for Rs 2422 crore, the latest in the series of welfare and developments projects announced by him in the run-up to the assembly polls.

바카라 웹사이트The BJP took a dig at Gehlot, saying he would have inaugurated these development works by now instead of laying their foundation stone had his government worked for four-and-half years.

바카라 웹사이트Gehlot launched the Rs 2422-crore project for new asphalt roads in 1514 revenue villages through video conferencing from his residence.

The development pace of Rajasthan has been strengthened by safe and smooth roads, the chief minister said, adding that a target has been set to develop more than 100,000 km of roads. So far, 65,000 km have been covered in this.

Leader of Opposition Rajendra Rathore said that two-and-a-half months before the model code of conduct for elections comes into play, the Gehlot government is trying to harvest votes by misusing government funds.

바카라 웹사이트He claims that the Gehlot government is going to distribute smartphones to 40 lakh women at a cost of Rs 2400 crore from August 10 but this amount was not announced in the budget.

바카라 웹사이트"Various development works would have been inaugurated instead of laying a foundation stone of the projects if the Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot-led Congress government had worked for four-and-half years," state BJP chief CP Joshi told reporters at a press conference.

바카라 웹사이트He said that the departure of the Congress government from the state is fixed as people from far-flung areas of the state will reach Jaipur to participate in the 'Nahi Sahega Rajasthan' campaign to 'gherao' secretariat on Tuesday on the issues of corruption, law and order and unemployment.

바카라 웹사이트Joshi said that the dual character of the Gehlot government towards women was visible as a minister was removed from the cabinet overnight when he "showed the mirror" to the government on rising women atrocities cases.

바카라 웹사이트He was referring to former cabinet minister Rajendra Gudha who had asked his government to introspect before raising the issues of Manipur violence. He was later sacked.

바카라 웹사이트In his address, Gehlot said that by registering in the inflation relief camp, eligible people are getting benefits under various 10 schemes, including medical facilities up to Rs 25 lakh under the Chief Minister Chiranjeevi Health Insurance Scheme and Rs 500 per cylinder under the Indira Gandhi Gas Cylinder Subsidy Scheme.

바카라 웹사이트Meanwhile, Gehlot said that the central government should soon declare the Eastern Rajasthan Canal Project (ERCP), which is very important for common people and farmers in 13 districts of the state, 바카라 웹사이트a national project.

바카라 웹사이트This scheme will ensure water supply for drinking water and irrigation in a large area of Rajasthan, he said.

바카라 웹사이트Unnecessary delay will increase the cost of the project and the people of the area will be deprived of its benefits, he said.

바카라 웹사이트A delegation of ERCP United Front, which has been agitating on the issue, met Gehlot at his residence on Monday.
