In his greetings to Congress candidates named in the second list announced on October 22 for the Rajasthan Assembly elections, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot reaffirmed his emphasis on the schemes of bachat, raahat, badhat (savings, relief, growth), through which he expects to beat the desert State’s trend of incumbent governments being voted out of power during the last three decades.
This probably is the biggest challenge which the Congress faces despite highlighting its achievements in the flagship public welfare schemes. Mr. Gehlot said the party needed to “work tirelessly” and get people’s blessings to speed up the fourfold progress to 10 times. He also called upon the party workers to give a concrete shape to his vision for bringing Rajasthan to the front row of developed States.
