Laying emphasis on the social security model adopted by the Congress regime, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on July 11 said the “single-engine” government in the State was working more efficiently than the BJP’s “double-engine” governments elsewhere, which had failed to work for people’s welfare.
Mr. Gehlot released social security pensions to over 51 lakh beneficiaries at a function in Jaipur.
The ‘Labharthi Utsav’, held at the Chief Minister’s official residence in Jaipur, witnessed the direct benefit transfer (DBT) of ₹1,005 crore to the bank accounts of the recipients of social security pensions, some of whom interacted with Mr. Gehlot through video conferencing. The State government was committed to bringing relief to the people facing adverse circumstances, he said.
