Campaign launched for social accountability law

Rajasthan Congress had promised the legislation in its 2018 Assembly election manifesto
A State-wide campaign has been launched in Rajasthan for demanding passage of the social accountability law in the next Assembly session, while reminding the Congress government of its commitment to bring the legislation in the 2018 election manifesto. Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot had reiterated his resolve to enact the law in his budget speech in 2019.
Activists pointed out that countless citizens were suffering from an inability to access their rights and have their complaints redressed in a time-bound manner, while there was “no accountability of errant government officials”.
The State government is yet to take an action on the report submitted by a committee in February 2020 along with the draft of the proposed statute.
