The BJP government in Rajasthan on January 18 decided to review the decisions taken by the previous Congress regime during its last six months in power, including those taken during the enforcement of the Model Code of Conduct for the 2023 State Assembly election. A committee comprising Ministers will review the decisions and submit its report in the next three months.
The Council of Ministers met here for the first time after the formation of the new government and took some major decisions for fulfilling the ruling party’s promises made to the people. The BJP’s election manifesto, titled Sankalp Patra, was adopted as the State government’s policy document along with the decision to appoint an Officer on Special Duty (OSD) in the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) for its implementation.
Industries Minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore told journalists after the meeting that the pension paid to those persons jailed under the Maintenance of Internal Security Act (MISA) during the Emergency would be restored. The previous Congress government had stopped the pension.
