JAIPUR: Congress’s policies in Rajasthan have saddled the desert state with the highest quantum of debt in the country, Union minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat said on Tuesday after the party lined its manifesto for the November 25 polls with a long list of freebies and concessions.
“Many employees of government corporations and boards have not received salaries for months, thanks to this government’s financial mismanagement,” he said.
On Congress promising to double health cover for all to Rs 50 lakh under the Chiranjeevi scheme, the Union minister said, “Anyone needing treatment costing above Rs 10 lakh is covered by the CM’s Discretionary Fund. To link Chiranjeevi to a welfare provision based on the CM’s discretion, and publicise such a thing as a scheme, is a big lie.”
Shekhawat also questioned Congress’s poll promise of four lakh jobs, alleging that the two lakh jobs pledged by the party before the previous poll were yet to be created.
