CM Ashok Gehlot / 'My speech was removed, so I will not be able to welcome you Modi ji', why did CM Gehlot say this

CM Ashok Gehlot: Assembly elections are going to be held in Rajasthan in the month of November-December this year. In this episode, PM Narendra Modi is going to visit Rajasthan today, where he will inaugurate many projects. Meanwhile, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has alleged in a long tweet that his speech has been deleted by the Prime Minister's Office. In such a situation, I will not welcome the Prime Minister through a speech. I heartily welcome you to Rajasthan. He tweeted and wrote that the Prime Minister of the country Narendra Modi is reaching Sikar today. PM Modi will release the fourth installment of Kisan Samman Nidhi for the farmers from the program being organized in front of Sikar's Medical College. Along with this, he will also address the general public meeting. All the preparations for the program have been completed by the BJP and the final rehearsal has also been done.

माननीय प्रधानमंत्री श्री नरेन्द्र मोदी जी,
आज आप राजस्थान पधार रहे हैं। आपके कार्यालय PMO ने मेरा पूर्व निर्धारित 3 मिनट का संबोधन कार्यक्रम से हटा दिया है इसलिए मैं आपका भाषण के माध्यम से स्वागत नहीं कर सकूंगा अतः मैं इस ट्वीट के माध्यम से आपका राजस्थान में तहेदिल से स्वागत करता…

Ashok Gehlot's full tweet

Honorable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi,

Today you are visiting Rajasthan. Your office PMO has removed my pre-scheduled 3-minute address from the program, so I will not be able to welcome you through speech, so I heartily welcome you to Rajasthan through this tweet. The inauguration and foundation laying of 12 medical colleges taking place today is the result of the partnership between the Government of Rajasthan and the Centre. The project cost of these medical colleges is Rs 3,689 crore, of which Rs 2,213 crore is the share of the Center and Rs 1,476 crore of the state government. I also congratulate everyone on behalf of the state government.

Through this tweet, I am putting forward the demands I have made through my speech in this program. I hope that during this 7th Yatra being done in 6 months, you will complete these-

1. On the demand of the youth of Rajasthan, especially Shekhawati, the permanent recruitment in the army should be continued as before by withdrawing the Agniveer scheme.

2. The state government has waived loans worth Rs 15,000 crore of 21 lakh farmers from all the co-operative banks under it. We have sent a one-time settlement proposal to the central government to waive off the loans of nationalized banks, in which we will give the farmers' share. This demand should be fulfilled.

3. The Rajasthan Legislative Assembly has passed a resolution for caste census. The Central Government should take a decision on this without any delay.

4. Due to the guidelines of NMC, the medical colleges being opened in our three districts are not getting any financial assistance from the central government. These are being built entirely with state funding. The central government should also give 60% funding to the medical colleges in these three tribal-dominated districts.

5. The Eastern Rajasthan Canal Project (ERCP) should be given the status of a project of national importance. I request you to take a positive stand on these demands and assure the state litigants today.

2 programs happening in Sikar

In view of the statement given by Ashok Gehlot, government sources say that two different programs will be organized in Sikar. One event is official and the other is party event. The government program is being organized so that Ashok Gehlot can participate in it. However, he wanted to attend Sikar's program through video conferencing. But this is not as per the normal protocol. Even on the inauguration stones, Ashok Gehlot's name is there.
