Jaipur, February 18 – Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma stated on Wednesday that 72 per cent of the promises made in the BJP's election manifesto have been fulfilled within two years of the government assuming office.
The Chief Minister made these remarks while interacting with officials and party workers from Kota, Ajmer, and Bharatpur divisions at his residence. He said that BJP workers remain committed to public service and nation-building and continue to enjoy the trust of the people.
Sharma urged party workers to actively publicize public welfare schemes and budgetary provisions of both the central and state governments, ensuring that their benefits reach people at the grassroots level.
He said that the state budget has made adequate provisions for development works in all 200 Assembly constituencies and claimed that the government has focused on ensuring benefits across sectors and sections of society.
