Amit Shah in Jaipur today to attend several programmes
Jaipur: Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma along with chief secretary Sudhansh Pant and DGP Rajiv Kumar Sharma Sunday inspected JECC in Sitapura where Union home minister Amit Shah is scheduled to attend programmes on Monday.
According to party sources, Shah may also meet former CM Vasundhara Raje, who has recently intensified her public outreach. Meanwhile, a conference of SPs and district collectors by the name of ‘Viksit Rajasthan 2047 Sankalp se Sushasan Chintan aur Samiksha Shivir’, which Shah was scheduled to inaugurate during his Jaipur visit, has been indefinitely postponed. The two-day conference was being organised for the state govt to take stock of its development works and to assess ways to strengthen law and order. Party sources did not cite a reason for the conference’s postponement.
The rest of Shah’s scheduled programme will remain unaffected. He will inaugurate a state-level exhibition commemorating one year of three criminal laws. Shah’s visit coincides with intense lobbying within Rajasthan BJP on the back of long-awaited cabinet expansion. It is believed that the cabinet expansion may take place after Shah’s visit.
The Union HM is also set to launch projects for which MoUs worth Rs 4 lakh crore were signed during 2024, and set the ball rolling on development works worth over Rs 9,300 crore. A direct transfer of Rs 260 crore for uniforms to students and Rs 364 crore for milk subsidy to dairy producers will also be started. The programme will see the launch of registrations under the govt’s free 150 unit electricity scheme and flag-off of vehicles for the forensic science lab (FSL).
