BOOSTING EMPLOYEES’ MORALE

Anupgarh

Jaipur: OPS, populist budget and announcement of new district and divisions is the way to counter anti-incumbency? Interestingly, these decisions are being considered by Congress people as Gehlot’s ‘JaduKiJhappi ’ for public! Meanwhile, the PCC President, Govind Singh Dotasra, is also elated as CM Gehlot gave preference to Dotasra’s suggestions. Nowadays, even the opposition party is discussing the ‘partnership’ between CM Gehlot and Dotasra. Gehlot took care of the old guards in the newly formed districts. So, the question now is, Will Congress get the benefit of these moves and coordination between power and organisation?

—Laxman Raghav

Alwar: Tijara MLA Sandeep Yadav, one of the six MLAs who defected to Congress from BSP, has opposed announcement of making Khairthal a new district. Yadav’s demand was to make Tijara or Bhiwadi a district. Yadav, who is Tijara MLA, announced resignation from post of President of Rajasthan Sub Regional Infrastructure Development Board. He will send the resignation to CM Ashok Gehlot. The MLA will also return govt vehicle. “I oppose the decision of not making Bhiwadi or Tijara a district. I am not opposed to making Khairthal a district. I have tendered my resignation as Bhiwadi wasn’t made a district. I would continue to put forth my demand,” he said.

Jaipur: Reacting to the announcement of the formation of 19 new districts, BJP State President Satish Poonia said that Congress government had to take this decision under the pressure of public opinion. He said that the people of the State will not be misled by false announcements He said that Rajasthan is a geographically big state & formation of new districts was started by former CM Bhairon Singh Shekhawat. Former CM Vasundhara Raje on Friday said that the new announcements of the Congress government are just an attempt to fulfill their personal political interests. “Many important facts have been ignored in the process of creating new districts. Instead of ease, the public would have to face administrative complications. The CM has tried to politicize the budget keeping in mind while ignoring fiscal indicators of the state, which is unfortunate,” she said.

First India Bureau

Jaipur: On Friday, a huge message emanated from the official Instagram handle of Congress party which read “Gehlot Fir Se!”. A reel was shared on the handle wherein, the achievements of Gehlot government were showcased and thereafter, the reel ended with the message ‘Mission 2023-28’. Interestingly, this has now effectively stamped the clear message of AICC that next assembly polls will be fought under Gehlot’s leadership and Gehlot will become CM if Congress wins! CM Gehlot will visit Delhi today. This tour is being seen as an political trip. There is also a possibility that he may also meet Party Prez Mallikarjun Kharge & Rahul Gandhi during his visit.
