Rajasthan will have Assembly Elections next year and CM Gehlot Government is preparing a roadmap to uphold a strong election campaign. Rajasthan Budget for 2022-23 was tabled yesterday in the Vidhan Sabha and it brought up several promises for welfare of state. The primary attraction was job guarantee scheme for urban areas and free electricity up to 50 units for domestic users that consume up to 100 units per month.

कोरोना काल में सभी वर्ग के परिवार आर्थिक रूप से प्रभावित हुए हैं,मैं अल्प-आय वर्ग के साथ-साथ समस्त 118 लाख घरेलू उपभोक्ताओं को राहत देने की दृष्टि से आगामी वर्ष 100 यूनिट प्रतिमाह तक बिजली का उपभोग करने वाले उपभोक्ताओं को 50 यूनिट तक बिजली निःशुल्क उपलब्ध करवाने की घोषणा करता हूं

Vasundhara Raje, former Chief Minister of Rajasthan said, “The basis of the Budget is not policy, but politics.”

कांग्रेस का शुरुआत से ये ही सिद्धांत रहा है कि झूठे सपने दिखाओ और जनता को मूर्ख बनाओ। इस बजट में भी ऐसा ही हुआ है, लेकिन अब लोग इनके झांसे में आने वाले नहीं है। क्योंकि पिछली घोषणाएं कागजों में तो पूरी हो गई, लेकिन धरातल पर आज भी नहीं उतरी।#RajasthanBudget2022

कहने को तो कृषि बजट है लेकिन किसानों के लिए महज छलावे से ज्यादा कुछ भी नहीं है। इन्होंने विस चुनाव में 2 लाख तक का कर्जा माफ करने का वादा तो आज तक पूरा नहीं किया और फिर से किसानों, युवाओं व कमजोर वर्ग को आकर्षित करने के लिए झूठे वादों का लेखा-जोखा लेकर आ गए।#RajasthanBudget2022

Satish Poonia, Rajasthan BJP President said, “Budget announcement looks like as if the elections are to be held tomorrow.”

बजट का रूप आमदनी अठन्नी-खर्चा रुपया जैसा है। बजटीय प्रावधानों का वित्तीय स्त्रोत क्या होगा, समझना मुश्किल है।

यह हास्यास्पद है कि जनघोषणा पत्र का 70 प्रतिशत और बजट का 85 प्रतिशत पूरा होना बताया जा रहा है, जबकि धरातल पर स्थिति कुछ और है। (1/4)

Rajasthan Budget Addressed Urban Employment Issue

Another highlight of the tabled Rajasthan Budget was pension scheme for government employees appointed after January 1, 2004. Under MGNREGA Scheme the number of man days will be increased. Indira Gandhi Shehri Rozgar Guarantee Yojana for urban areas was announced along the line of Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act. CM Ashok Gehlot said, “While MGNREGA assisted people in rural areas, there is no such scheme for street vendors as well as those working at dhabas and restaurants in urban areas.” Employment for up to 100 days in a year will be provided in urban areas and state government will bear expense of Rs 800 crore to implement the scheme.

Rajasthan will be on the road to become the fourth state that will implement scheme for employment in urban areas after Jharkhand, Himachal Pradesh and Odisha. Under MGNREGA Scheme number of man days will be increased from 100 days to 125 days and it will cost 750 crore to the government. A separate Agriculture Budget was also presented by bringing all agriculture heads together. This move will be seen as stardust after the recent struggles of farmers in the country due to three farm laws passed by Union Government.

अनेक विद्यालयों में विषयों एवं विषय अध्यापकों की कमी है। उसी प्रकार चिकित्सा एवं स्वास्थ्य विभाग में भी सामान्य आधारभूत सुविधाओं की कमी है। सामान्य दवाईयां एवं जांच की सुविधाएं भी नहीं हैं।

School Children Have Been Discussed

Rajasthan will also launch a three month bridge course for all the school children in the state to compensate the loss of academic classes during pandemic.

Government will also increase honorarium and allowances for elected representatives of Panchayati Raj and Urban Bodies by 20%. Rajasthan Budget also announced that no new taxes will be introduced because economy has not recovered since the Covid-19 pandemic.
