'Fulfilled almost half of manifesto vows in a year'
Hindustan Times|December 16, 2024
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in Rajasthan, led by chief minister Bhajan Lal Sharma, completed one year in office on Sunday.
'Fulfilled almost half of manifesto vows in a year'

In an interview with Sachin Saini, CM Sharma reflected on his government's journey so far, listing out some key decisions such as reducing taxes and lowering prices of fuel, as well as efforts made by his government to "restore trust of people" in government machinery. Edited excerpts:

The BJP government has completed one year. How has it been so far? People of Rajasthan voted the BJP in government with great expectations and our government has been working to fulfil them. Relaxing taxes and lowering petrol/diesel prices was a major step to provide immediate relief to the people. However, the state machinery and economy were reeling due to corruption under the Congress regime. Our government took a firm stance against corruption and tried to restore trust of people in government machinery. We made government services more accessible for citizens and ensured that deserving (beneficiaries) are able to receive the benefit of state and central government schemes.

In line with the vision of our honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modi, we are making government more efficient and accessible for public. It's delighting that people of Rajasthan displayed their approval through votes in recent by-elections.
