All schemes of previous govt will continue: Rajasthan CM Sharma
The Hindu
Chief Minister Sharma pledges to continue welfare schemes & increase health insurance cover to ₹25 lakh under Ayushman Bharat Scheme to mark Good Governance Day.
Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma on December 25 said none of the welfare schemes launched by the previous Congress government in the State will be discontinued.
He was speaking at a function organised by the BJP to mark Good Governance Day on the birth anniversary of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
Reacting to the allegations by the Congress that his government would discontinue the public welfare schemes launched by the previous government, Mr. Sharma said, "Congress people are saying our work, our schemes... I want to tell you that we will not stop any of the schemes." The Chief Minister said free medicines will continue to be made available at government hospitals and the number of essential drugs would also be increased.
Vajyapee made schemes for the welfare of the poor and Prime Minister Narendra Modi took the initiative forward, Mr. Sharma said.
BJP stalwart Vajpayee was born on December 25, 1924. He died on August 16, 2018.
Deputy Chief Minister Diya Kumari and other leaders of the party also paid tributes to Vajpayee on the day.
Speaking at another programme in the district's Ajayrajpura area, Mr. Sharma said his government was committed to making Rajasthan a leader in public welfare.
The All-India level NEET examination was started a few years ago to counter complaints of corruption during the joint entrance examinations held at the State level. AIDSO had warned the authorities that the solution to the menace of corruption was not changing the examination system, but to investigate the corruption and punish the guilty.
