The political landscape of Rajasthan is currently abuzz with a sharp exchange of words between the ruling party and the opposition regarding the completion of two years of the state government. Congress State President Govind Singh Dotasra has launched a scathing attack on Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma's recent statement, dismissing it as a 'drama,' while CM Sharma has confidently presented his government's achievements, claiming new dimensions of development.
Congress State President Govind Singh Dotasra questioned the very process of Chief Minister.
Bhajanlal Sharma's appointment, stating that exactly two years ago today, a 'drama' unfolded. He alleged that the Chief Minister of the state was 'born' from a 'slip' that came from Delhi. Dotasra further claimed that today, the same 'slip' has orchestrated another 'drama' by having the Chief Minister read from yet another 'slip' sent from Delhi. He urged the Chief Minister to address the promises made to the public by the Prime Minister and all BJP leaders, rather than merely listing two years of achievements. Dotasra's strong remarks have cast a shadow over the Chief Minister's appointment process and the government's functioning, intensifying the political debate in the state.
Concerns Over Health Sector and Diminishing Facilities
Dotasra also raised significant concerns about the state of healthcare in Rajasthan, asserting that. The conditions are far from satisfactory and that the public isn't receiving adequate facilities. The Congress leader pointed out that the amount of health insurance previously provided has been reduced,. Which could potentially make access to crucial medical care even more challenging for the common citizen. Also, he highlighted a noticeable decrease in the number of Community Health Centers (CHCs) and Primary Health Centers (PHCs). These centers are vital for delivering basic healthcare services, especially in rural and remote areas, and their reduction could severely impact healthcare accessibility. For a large segment of the population, potentially leading to increased burden on larger hospitals or a complete lack of primary care for many.
Farmers' Plight: Fertilizer Shortages and Lathi-Charge
Addressing the critical issues faced by farmers in the agricultural sector, Dotasra stated that they're being forced to stand in long queues for fertilizers. He drew a stark comparison to the demonetization period, recalling how people had to queue for currency notes, and emphasized that now farmers are enduring similar hardships for essential agricultural inputs, while dotasra also alleged that farmers are facing lathi-charge while struggling to obtain fertilizers, yet their needs remain unmet. He cited the state's Agriculture Minister, who reportedly acknowledged the legitimacy of the farmers' problems but claimed that these issues had not reached him, while this statement, according to Dotasra, raises serious questions about accountability, communication, and the government's responsiveness to the agricultural community's distress. On top of that, he mentioned the need to employ laborers to monitor Aadhaar card queues, suggesting further administrative inefficiencies and complexities within the system.
