JAIPUR:
Addressing a press conference in Jaipur, Congress chief Govind Singh Dotasra said, "It was only a game to give free lands to industrialists. There were instances where MoUs (memorandum of understandings) of huge amounts were signed with private colleges or smaller firms by the government just to increase the amount of investment commitments. This summit is only an eyewash and is not going to generate any sufficient employment opportunity."
The three-day summit was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on December 9 and, according to the state government, agreements worth ₹35 lakh crore were signed with companies across various sectors. Referring to this, Dotasra said that many BJP leaders have only taken opportunity of this summit to register lands on their names to run a small start up.
"This summit would barely help the people of Rajasthan and would address the unemployment issue. They had done the maximum MoUs in the energy sector. When Rajasthan only has the lands to offer such projects, the production of the energy will directly be stored to the central power grid from where the state have to buy it again. How would such projects give jobs in the state?"
