BJP on 3 years of Raje govt: 72 per cent of poll pledges kept

Jaipur: As the Vasundhara Raje regime nears the completion of its third year in power, the state BJP has decided to hold district-level programmes to apprise people of the government’s “achievements”. Party’s state president Ashok Parnami, while claiming that the government has fulfilled “72 per cent of the promises” it had made in its election manifesto, declared that the BJP will take the third year’s report card to the public in exercises held at the district level.

Mr Parnami also equated the present government’s “achievements” in three years with that of the erstwhile Congress government’s “in five years”. Taking a dig at former chief minister Ashok Gehlot, he said that during his tenure, the state had “slipped into a debt trap” but is “back on its feet again under the leadership of chief minister Vasundhara Raje”.

“During Vasundhara ji’s first tenure, Rajasthan came out of the BIMARU status but the Gehlot government reversed all the gains and the state became sick once again. Now, once again it has come out of sickness and is developing fast,” Mr Parnami said.

Presenting a summary of the works done by the Raje government, Mr Parnami claimed that “72 per cent of the promises made in the BJP’s manifesto ‘Suraj Sankalp Patra’ in 2013 have been met. The remaining promises, he added, will be fulfilled in the next two years.
