Congress leaders in Rajasthan, spearheaded by party president Govind Singh Dotasra, took a strong stand against BJP governments both at the Centre and the state. Gathering at a Kisan Lalkar Rally, they accused Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma of neglecting the pressing issues faced by farmers and flood-affected communities.
Dotasra, alongside opposition leader Tika Ram Jully, denounced the government's commitment to farmers' welfare, claiming that promised income increases have not materialized. They criticized the allocation of Rs. 3,200 crores to Rajasthan Mandapam instead of using funds for essential school infrastructure.
Accusations of electoral irregularities and negligence in relief efforts were central themes. Jully condemned what he called 'vote chori', and lamented the delay in civic body polls. The leaders expressed frustration over the government's prioritization of elite projects over necessary disaster compensation and rural development.
