While flagging off Hadauti leg of Rajasthan Gaurav Yatra from her home turf in Jhalawar on Friday, chief minster Vasundhara Raje took a dig at opposition for seeking court ban on the inaugurati­on and foundation laying of the developmen­t works during her yatra.

Raje kicked off her four-day Gaurav Yatra in Hadauti region from Jhalawar district on Friday after worshippin­g at the Kyasara temple in Dug region.

Later, while addressing a public meeting in Dag, Raje said, “I was to inaugurate the completed developmen­t works and lay the foundation stone of the sanctioned works on which crores were either spent or were planned to be spent, but the opposition, in despair and frustratio­n, sought court ban on it during my yatra.”

She said that the opposition feels if such inaugurati­on ceremonies are held during yatra, it could consolidat­e people’s belief that our government sticks to its word.

Raje asked Jhalawar MP, Dushyant Singh to inaugurate and lay foundation of the developmen­t works worth ~320 crore in Dag region after her Yatra’s departure from the region.

Slamming opposition Congress for not carrying developmen­t of Jhalawar during its tenure, Raje said, “Although the polls are round the corner, our state government never observed any partiality in developmen­t works in the state.”

Enumeratin­g her associatio­n with her electoral home district of Jhalawar, Raje said, “People of Jhalawar have always extended their support and Jhalawar is like a family to me.”

She said that Jhalawar has given her the strength to serve people. Raje claimed that developmen­t works worth ~17,000 crore are either running or completed in the Jhalawar district.

Raje said that her government has waived off farm loans up to ~50,000 in the state while recruitmen­t of around 65,000 teachers has already been done for government schools and around 35,000 more will be recruited.

Raje said that her state government has opened seven new government medical colleges in Rajasthan which would help in resolving the scarcity of doctors.

Member of Parliament from Jhalawar, Dushyant Singh, MLA from Dag, RC Suneriwal and other leaders of BJP were present during the public meeting on Friday.

Raje would cover 17 assembly constituen­cies of Kota division in next three days.
