“Rajasthan did not show any interest in proposal of PM Mitra Park of 1,000 acres textile park in the State,” Mr. Goyal said.

The Commerce and Industry Minister was speaking to reporters after an interaction with students of a coaching institute in Talwandi area on Sunday evening.

On possibility of a BJP government in Rajasthan, he said people have made up their mind to join the pace of development by the Narendra Modi-led Central government. There is no leadership issue in Rajasthan BJP, Mr. Goyal said.
