CM Gehlot presents his 14th
budget in state assembly!
Jagdeesh Chandra
hief Minister Ashok Gehlot
has it all. Keeping an eye on
elections next year, he fulfilled
demands of all the voting pop-
ulation in one go. It was giving
back time for him. Govern-
ment employees got back their old pen-
sion system, youth received one lakh job
assurance, women smartphones and
farmers got unprecedented pie of Rs
5000 crore separately. The budget laced
with Gehlot’s unmatched political acu-
men will certainly win him support
from all the sections, especially from
youth who were said to have been disil-
lusioned after the REET and RAS fiasco.
The budget looked more like a mani-
festo with fancy decisions and unimagi-
nable commitments. But with magi-
cian Gehlot showing his ‘politricks’,
repeat of Congress government
looks round the corner, though it
will mainly depend on the ‘free hand’
given by Gandhis to Gehlot in ticket
distribution for 2023.
Gehlot took a leaf from aspirations of
Uttar Pradesh voters. Whether it was
freeing up the electricity or announcing
the return of old pension scheme, Ge-
hlot knew exactly what can click to vot-
ers in general. Gehlot’s budgetary provi-
sions will certainly put pressure on
Prime Minister Modi and many of the
chief ministers who are also facing de-
mands of reinstating the old pension
scheme and creating government jobs at
centre.
Gehlot’s budget theme has been so
impressive that even BJP leaders are
finding it difficult to attack or op-
pose the budget. In fact, the budget
has put up a major challenge before
state and central BJP leadership to
effectively counter Gehlot in 2023 as-
sembly polls.
By making extremely smart and
shrewd political remarks on Madam
Vasundhara, Gehlot again success-
fully created a sense of ‘alertness’ in
the mind of BJP high command
about Madam’s ‘silent’ equations
and her ‘symbolic and indirect’ prox-
imity with him. The other side of the
story is that Gehlot’s this popular move
has further enhanced Vasundha-
ra’s chances to come back in
mainstream, where Nar-
endra Modi and Amit
Shah have not yet made
up their mind about
the exact role of
Madam in the com-
ing assembly polls.
The message is
very clear... keep-
ing in mind the
growing popu-
larity of Ge-
hlot, only Mad-
am Raje can
match a tow-
ering Gehlot!

ajasthan Chief Minister
Ashok Gehlot who is also
the Finance Minister of
the state presented the 4th
budget of his third tenure
on February 23. Focusing
on Agriculture and
Healthcare, the first sepa-
rate agricultural budget
was also presented, while
the overall development
of Rajasthan has been
taken into account too. It
had been evident that a
welfare state keeps inclu-
siveness in the develop-
ment process as a prime
object. From reviving the
old pension scheme to a
separate budget for agri-
culture this budget held a
benchmark by provision-
ing an estimated outlay of
Rs 78,938 crore for the ag-
riculture sector, out of
which Rs 11,000 crore for
Infrastructural develop-
ment and Rs 29,000 crore
for the subsidy, while Rs
20,000 crore for credit sup-
ply in the same. Budget
allocation had been follow-
ing a holistic approach by
providing a developmen-
tal expenditure of Rs 1.69
lakh crore under the
schemes for the welfare
mechanism to propel. Con-
sidering the appropriation
of the above-mentioned
outlay, it showed that the
highest appropriation had
been made for the Social
Welfare Sector at 46% of
total expenditure under
schemes, followed by rural
development and the pow-
er sector. Though there
had been a surmounting
pressure of employment
generation and rising in-
flation in the retail sector,
the budget managed to re-
lieve the same by provi-
sioning a cardinal pros-
pect of generating 1.4lakh
jobs under the petroleum
sector, and providing the
subsidy for electricity con-
sumption up to 200 units.
Recognizing tourism and
hospitality as an industry
would provide new hori-
zons and prospects for in-
vestment to be raised, con-
sidering the economic
importance of the same.
AGRONOMICS
IN THE BUDGET
There had been various al-
locations to the agricultur-
al sector under different
heads. From the provision-
ing of Rs 1,439 crore for the
horticulture to Rs 2,000
crore micro-irrigation, Rs
600 crore to organic farm-
ing scheme and formulat-
ing Millet scheme, the
budget focuses on the sus-
tainability of the agricul-
ture sector. For better pro-
viding a better agriculture
marketing budget tends to
promote the establishment
of micro-food processing
enterprises by providing
50% subsidy for the same.
Considering, farmers re-
lief as concerned, it provi-
sioned for about Rs 400
crore grants to 25,000 farm-
ers, with Rs 100 crore inter-
est-free loans to farmers
and subsuming 5 lakh new
farmers under credit
scheme, while providing
free seed kits to 12 lakh
farmers and granting Rs
5,000 per family to landless
farmers. Moreover, to over-
come the challenges of ex-
ternalfactorsonproductiv-
ity
, it provisioned for about
Rs 400 crore for Green
House farming and dis-
bursement of 1,000 drones
for insect attacks.
FOR SOCIO-WELFARE
AND EMPLOYMENT
GENERATION
This budget had been for-
mulated in a sense to pro-
vide support to sluggish
socio-economic develop-
ment and unemployed
youths. This budget, has
created a provision to re-
vive old pension scheme,
for the government em-
ployees employed after 1st
Jan 2004, though it would
create a fiscal burden but
in the very long-run, may-
be in 2034, thus it raised
the question of sustaina-
bility. Secondly, budget
has raised number of days
of work under MGNRE-
GA to 125 days and an-
nounced an Urban Em-
ployment guarantee
scheme. The state govern-
ment will bear the expend-
iture of Rs 700 crore. On
the side of health sector, it
raised the insurance cov-
erage under Chiranjeevi
Scheme from 5 lakh to 10
lakh and development of
1,000 health centre. In the
education sector, it provi-
sioned for development of
an education hub at JLN
marg Jaipur which would
provide better investment
prospect for the state in
the same. To ensure the
quality of education in
the English medium,
budget proposes the crea-
tion of a separate cadre of
English medium teachers
under all subjects. About
10,000 English medium
teachers will be recruited
in these schools in the
first phase. Under the CM
Digital Service Scheme,
1.33 crore women will get
internet-enabled smart-
phones for 3 years.
CONCLUDING
REMARK
The budget held an expan-
sionary stand of govt for
devp of the state and tackle
sluggish growth, but here it
againraisestheconcernfor
source to generate the rev-
enue for the same. It would
indirectly raise the fiscal
burden, though a welfare
state could bear the deficit
topropeltheeconomicvari-
ablesandstimulategrowth,
but would create an infla-
tionary impact on overall
economy concerned. This

SPIRITUAL SPEAK
ED DEALS STAGGERING BLOW TO MVA, NCP
umbai has be-
come a hunting
ground for the
Enforcement Di-
rectorate which
has been taking on leaders
of the Sharad Pawar-led
Nationalist Congress Par-
ty (NCP). The latest to fall
in ED’s net is Nawab Ma-
lik, Maharashtra’s Minis-
ter for Minority Develop-
ment, who has been ar-
rested for alleged money
laundering in a property
deal and links with Da-
wood Ibrahim aides. Da-
wood’s brother Iqbal
Kaskar was arrested ear-
lier. Last year the Narcot-
ics Control Bureau (NCB)
had arrested Malik’s son-
in-law Sameer Khan in a
drug-related case.
More than Malik it is
the NCP and the Uddhav
Thackeray-led Maha Vi-
kas Aghadi (MVA) govern-
ment which the ED is chip-
ping away at and leaders
of the coalition know that.
Before swooping down on
Malik the ED had arrested
the state’s Home Minister
Anil Deshmukh, also a
senior leader of the NCP.
Malik was the most vocal
critic of the ED, NCB and
CBI when they arrested
Deshmukh and Aryan
Khan, actor Shahrukh
Khan’s son. Defending
Deshmukh, Malik had de-
scribed his arrest as “po-
litically motivated”. “It is
aimed at scaring leaders
of the MVA,” Malik said.
Deshmukh’s arrest was
a setback for the NCP, but
that of Malik has come as
a jolt. Sharad Pawar has
accused China of using
Central agencies to target
MVA. His daughter Su-
priya Sule called it a new
brand of politics. There’s
little else Pawar, Sule and
Sanjay Raut can do, other
than wait to see who’s
next in ED and CBI’s
cross-hairs. Or, maybe,
quickly form a national
alliance.

THE LATEST TO FALL

HAS BEEN ARRESTED

In the first Agri
Budget, neither
full loan waiver
nor special

made for farmers,
who were cheated
by presenting old

announcement, the
farmer is feeling
cheated.
—Rajendra Rathore,

The Congress
government in its
election manifesto,
had talked about
loan waiver for
farmers, but in this
year’s agriculture
budget also, no such
provision was made
and thus, the farmers
are anguished about
the same.

Visionless Budget painted
in election colour: Raje
Aishwary Pradhan
Jaipur: Former CM
Vasundhara Raje termed
the budget as disappoint-
ing. “This budget is going
to disappoint every section,
the basis of which is poli-
tics, not policy
. There is no
vision of development.
This budget, painted in
election colour, will neither
change the condition nor
direction of the state. There
is an agricultural budget to
say, but it is nothing more
than a mere deception for
the farmers,” she said.
Raje said that the govt
has not fulfilled the prom-
ise of waiving the loans of
farmers up to Rs 2 lakh.

Congress MLA’s
unique protest
against his own
government
Mukesh Mathrani
Barmer: After the govt ig-
nored his demands, Con-
gress MLA Madan Prajapat
has protested against his
own party govt in a unique
manner. To mark his pro-
test, soon after the budget
speech ended, the MLA had
left his shoes outside the as-
sembly gate and moved
barefoot. It mentioned here
that a few days back, the
MLA had earlier an-
nounced that if his de-
mands would not meet, he
will remain barefoot for his
whole life. As his demands
were not addressed in the
state budget presented on
Wednesday, he stepped-on
his pledged.

ROADMAP OF FREE ELECTRICITY
FREE POWER TO SUSTAIN POWER!
Naresh Sharma
Jaipur: With a popular
and all-inclusing budget,
Chief Minister Ashok Ge-
hlot has prepared the road-
map for the return of his
government! How? Free
electricity to masses is of-
ten announced in the elec-
tion manifesto of political
parties which seldom
come true and govern-
ments dont act on it, but
Gehlot gave the gift of free
electricity on Wednesday
.
Interestingly, Gehlot’s
first government went due
to the displeasure of the
employees, a fact which
Gehlot had mentioned in
the Congress session at
Birla Auditorium recently
.
But on Wednesday, the
Chief Minister gave sev-
eral gifts to the employees.
Forthefirsttime,employ-
ees were seen dancing with
Gehlot’s photo as many ma-
jor announcements includ-
ing free medical and smart-
phone were made.
Further, Gehlot gave,
with open hands, what the
MLAs asked for and with
his ‘master stroke budget,
Gehlot has wreaked havoc
on the opposition. The dis-
cusion, in every nook and
corner, has now shifted to
budget only and the gen-
eral feeling is - Has Gehlot
made preparations to re-
peat his govt in 2023?

There were back-to-

these blasts, the Sama-

worked to get them re-

He further said that
dynastic politics de-

During the reign of

viding good govern-
ance, the past govts ex-
ploited the people and
their leaders built lav-
ish palaces. We on the
other hand have made
homes for the poor.

rest of persons without
supply of ECIR (paral-

New Delhi: It seems
that the Congress par-
ty has no hope from
Uttar Pradesh, be-
cause if the Congress
had any hope of even
making a dent in the
results, it would not
have happened that
Punjab Chief Minis-
ter Charanjit Singh
Channi, would have
abused the people of
Bihar and UP and ap-
pealed to them to stop
coming to Punjab, all
while when Priyanka
was sitting on the
stage and she kept
smiling on while lis-
tening to the speech!
Priyanka kept listen-
ing to this speech be-
cause she knows that
nothing is to be
achieved in UP
, while
in Punjab Channi
may bring Congress
back to power. So why
should the power of
Punjab be lost in the
affair of UP Bihar?
Just imagine, Pri-
yanka Gandhi Vadra
even reached Uttar
PradeshwithChanni,
who gave a speech to
stop the 'Bhaiya' from
Bihar Uttar
Pradesh, and joined
with Channi in Ravi-
das Jayanti and also
gave an election mes-
sage to the Dalit soci-
ety
. Earlier, in the
presenceof Priyanka,
Channi had said on
the stage that 'Broth-
ers' from UP should
not be allowed to even
moveaboutinPunjab.
When Channi said
this, the crowd raised
slogans of 'Jo Bole So
Nihal'. Priyanka also
joined this sloganeer-
ing.Latersheremoved
her 'shyness' and said
that those coming
from outside should
be taught 'Punjabiyat'.
Congress does not have
hope from itself in UP!

decisions. PM Modi
also said that women
are major pillars of
the rural economy.
Prime Minister

need to increase ef-
forts to ensure more
and more Startups in
rural parts of India.
He also stressed that
the participation of
women through Self
Help Groups (SHGs)
needs to be expanded
further. Women's
power is a major pil-
lar of the rural econo-
my. Financial inclu-
sion has ensured

holds. This participa-
tion of women
through SHGs needs

theme of Leaving No
Citizen Behind.
PM Modi also em-
phasised for more
Startups to come up in
rural India. The target
of 'Leaving no citizen
behind' can only be
achievable with such,
he added.
Today, in most of
the states of India,
there is a need to em-
phasize the outcome
more than the output.
Today, a lot of money
goes to the villages. If
that money is used at
the right time, then
the situation of the
villages can change,

Digital connectivity of villages is no

not only provide facilities in the vil-
lages, but it will also help in creating
a large pool of skilled youth in the vil-
lages, said Prime Minister Narendra
Modi while addressing a programme
on the Union Budget 2022. When
the service sector expands with
broadband connectivity in the vil-
lage, the country's potential will
increase further. If there are
any problems in optical fiber
connectivity, then we have
to identify them and find
solutions, the Prime
Minister said. He said
that the citizens
of the country need to inform the
rural population about the proper
usage of optical fibre networks. We
need to identify and solve all optical
fibre connectivity issues across the
nation's rural areas. We also need to
i n f o r m the rural population
about the proper
usage of optical
fibre networks
in villages
that are now
connected,

New Delhi: Assembly
elections are over in
three states. All the
seats in Uttarakhand
and Goa went to the
polls on Feb 14 and in
Punjab, polls on all the
seats ended on Sunday
.
But instead of Con-
gress' concerns ending,
it has increased drasti-
cally
. Not much about
Punjab, but the Con-
gress leadership in Utt-
arakhand and Goa is
worried. There is no
worry in Punjab be-
cause BJP is not con-
testing as a major force
there,sothereisnositu-
ation that the govern-
ment will be formed by
BJP, whatever the out-
comeaftertheelections.
Two issues are trou-
blingtheCongressinUt-
tarakhand and Goa. The
first issue is the possibil-
ity of EVMs being re-
placed or any malprac-
tices in them and per-
haps that is why Con-
gress party leaders are
guarding every place
where EVM machines
have been kept. In every
district where counting
centershavebeensetup,
EVMs are kept in strong
rooms and Congress
leaders are guarding
themoutside.Thisraises
a big question on the
credibility of the Elec-
tion Commission, how-
ever, the commission ap-
pears to be not a bit wor-
ried about its credibility
.
However, the state
BJP leaders are attack-
ing the Congress party
for guarding the strong
room saying that Con-
gressislosingbutisnow
doing drama to blame
on EVMs. But remem-
ber, this is not a unique
thing. In many other
states also it was seen
that the leaders of the
opposition parties stood
guardoutsidethestrong
room from the day of
polling till the day of
counting. Think, what
kindof distrusthasaris-
en in the entire process
of voting and counting.
Theway theCongress
is concerned about the
guarding of the strong
room, in the same way
there is concern in the
Congressaboutitspoten-
tial MLAs. In Goa, the
Congress is busy guard-
ingallitscandidateswho
are likely to win the as-
sembly elections. The
Congress has also ac-
cused the BJP and said
that the BJP leaders
have already started
workingtobreakthepo-
tential Congress MLAs.
However, this time Con-
gresshasgiventicketsto
lessnumberof defectors
andhasalsogotthem to
file affidavits and still
the Congress party is
worried. Then party
leaders said that Chief
Minister Pramod

isterVishwajitRaneare

Jaipur: CM Ashok Ge-
hlot did not only open
up the coffers to com-
mon people’s prosper-
ity, but also made a re-
cord, of sorts, reading
the budget speech that
went on for nearly
three hours. The 2
hours 57 minutes long
budget speech saw sev-
eral announcements
made through the 125-
page budget speech.
Interestingly, the pre-
vious record of 2 hours
46 minutes was also set
by Gehlot in 2021.
Gehlot started and
endedthebudgetspeech
with ‘shayaris’. In fact,
his political comments,
praising former CM
Vasundhara Raje, were
also discussed a lot. In-
terestingly
, he narrated
the ‘sher’ twice, both
times directing his
words towards Raje.
After commenting
on Raje, Gehlot said,
“Na Poochho Meri
Manzil Kahaan Hai,
Abhee To Safar Ka
Iraada Kiya Hai. Na
Haarunga Hausla
Umar Bhar, Yeh Maine
Kisi Se Nahin Khud Se
Vaada Kiya Hai.”
Ending his budget-
ary speech, Gehlot
again read out a poetry
,
“Na Thake Abhi Paer,
Na Himmat Haari hai,
Hausla Hai Zindagi
Main Kuch Kar
Dikhane Ka, Isliye
Abhi BHi Safar Jaari
Hai.”CMAshokGehlot
Interestingly, before
finishing the budget
speech, Gehlot, taunt-
ing the BJP legislators,
said, “Give some praise
(tothebudget).Whyare
you sitting quietly? Say
something or com-
ment. Don’t know
what’s the matter?
Vasundharajihascome
so everyone sat silent,
otherwise sometimes
there was laughter, it
used to happen earlier
also. Today you all are
completely in disci-
pline.Iadmit,aleader’s
auradoesplayitspart.”
During the last rule
andwhileintheOpposi-
tion,Gehlotusedtogive
scathing statements on
Raje, but this time that

ing. On Wednesday
, Ge-
hlot tried to stress that
only Raje was above all
other BJP leaders.
CM Ashok Gehlot recited poetry in between his Budget speech
pointing towards Vasundhara Raje’s (inset) leadership acumen.
