Jaipur: A major boost came up for Rajasthan CM Bhajan Lal Sharma as the union Home and Cooperatives minister Amit Shah louded his performance as CM in a public meeting in Jaipur on Thursday.
"Rajasthan CM Bhajan Lal Sharma has done commendable work in strengthening cooperatives in a short time, and by forming an SIT on the question paper leak, he sent a strong message to the paper leak mafia,” said Shah, who was in Jaipur to address the representatives of cooperative societies who came from across the state.
The praise for CM Sharma from the top leadership of the party is being considered as a clear message to all the factions of the party and a full stop on the rumors of change of guard in the state that were on rife for the past few months.
Shah in the presence of former CM Vasundhara Raje sitting next to him, mentioned Bhajan Lal Sharma's initiatives like the ‘Rising Rajasthan’ investment summit, the reduction in VAT on petrol and diesel, and the cut in the prices of cooking gas cylinders.
Shah said that his ministry has set a goal to establish two lakh new Primary Agricultural Cooperative Societies (PACS) nationwide, of which 40,000 have already been created. The computerization of all PACS is complete.
Shah expressed confidence that the central and Rajasthan governments will work together to strengthen the state's cooperative movement.
“We want Rajasthan to rank top Rajasthan in the country in the cooperative sector by 2047. The central and the Rajasthan government will work together to achieve this,” said Shah.
Shah stated that cooperatives have significantly contributed to the nation's development over the past 100 years, and the next 100 years will be dedicated to their growth. Shah mentioned that efforts are underway to strengthen the rural economy and empower farmers through cooperatives.
Amit Shah commended Rajasthan's agricultural achievements, highlighting the state's leading role in the production of groundnuts, sorghum, chickpeas, and oilseeds.
He also praised the research initiated on camel milk, aimed at ensuring the conservation of camels, and stated that this step will guarantee the survival of camels in the future.
Mentioning Operation Sindoor, Amit Shah targeted the Congress regime and said that the country struggled with terrorist attacks during Congress regime. While, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India has not only strengthened its security but has also realized the dream of a prosperous and developed nation.
"PM Modi has repeatedly given a strong response to Pakistan and conveyed India's strength to the world," said Shah.
At the event, Amit Shah flagged off 100 new vehicles for the Rajasthan Police and distributed appointment letters to 8,000 of the youngest who secured government jobs. He also virtually inaugurated 24 grain warehouses with a capacity of 500 metric tons each and 64 millet centers.
