Though Rahul Gandhi‘s Bharat Jodo Yatra is currently in the southern part of the country, but its echo is being seen in Jaipur, Rajasthan. Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Thursday inaugurated and laid the foundation stone for development works worth Rs 472 crore in Jaipur.
CM Gehlot inaugurated the elevated road from LIC Bhawan to Sodala built at a cost of Rs 250 crores. The people of Jaipur have got this gift after waiting for the whole 6 years. During this, the Chief Minister announced to name the elevated road as ‘Bharat Jodo Marg’. Apart from this, the CM also laid the foundation stone of 6 other projects costing 222 crores.
Addressing the inauguration and foundation stone laying ceremony, CM Gehlot said that his government has completed the construction work of the elevated road within the stipulated time despite various hurdles caused by the pandemic. “The welfare of the people of the state is the aim of the government. With the completion of these development plans, besides providing convenience to the general public, tourism also gets a boost in the area,” CM Gehlot said.
“The state government has given priority to works like removal of encroachments obstructing traffic, widening of roads, construction of new roads and bridges, providing parks for the common man. This has led to the creation of excellent road network and infrastructure in various cities of the state including Jaipur.”
In the inaugural address of Sodala Elevated Road, Ashok Gehlot said that today there is an atmosphere of tension in the country but the Prime Minister is silent. “People are scared of unnecessary action by institutions like ED, Income Tax and CBI,” he said. At the same time, CM Ashok Gehlot has once again demanded PM Narendra Modi to appeal to people to maintain peace and brotherhood in the country.
Ashok Gehlot said that Rahul Gandhi Bharat Jodo Yatra is happening to connect the country, which is the need of the hour. People should imbibe this feeling.
Earlier, Minister Shanti Dhariwal had said that the elevated road should be named on the lines of Bharat Jodo Yatra.” The name of this elevated road should be Bharat Jodo Marg, just as the journey is forgetting hatred and connecting the hearts of people. Similarly, this road also connects the hearts,” Dhariwal said.. In the function, Dhariwal also said that the state government has half the stake in the smart city and Rajasthan has come at number one in terms of smart city.
