JAIPUR: Chief minister Ashok Gehlot on Saturday clarified that it is not caste census but caste survey which will start immediately. He said once a decision has been taken before the model code of conduct come into force, there is no problem in continuing with the survey.
Gehlot talking to media on the sidelines of a function said, “Census can only be conducted by the Centre. We are only doing a survey of the families in which their economic condition will also come to the fore. I think a huge decision has been taken. It is our party’s commitment, we will take it forward.”
He said his government has brought big schemes like the Chiranjeevi Health Insurance and the Urban Employment Guarantee and Prime Minister Narendra Modi should tell when the Centre would implement those schemes in the country.
Gehlot’s statement comes days after Modi told a public meeting in Chittorgarh that if the BJP came to power in Rajasthan, it would not stop welfare schemes started by the Congress in Rajasthan.
The chief minister also reiterated that his government would conduct a caste survey in Rajasthan on the lines of the one recently done in Bihar.
On Modi’s “guarantee” that the BJP will not discontinue the welfare schemes, Gehlot said, “It means that he had accepted that our plans are great. He should not worry; we have implemented them well. He should tell us when the Centre will announce the Rs 25 lakh health insurance scheme. Tell me when will OPS and the urban employment guarantee scheme be implemented?”
He said, “First, implement and then come and campaign here. Then people will believe what he says.”
Gehlot also targeted BJP leaders in the state, saying they could not find reasons to criticise the decisions of his government.
“That is why sometimes they talk about red diary, sometimes yellow diary, sometimes black diary,” he said.
Asked about the Congress’ alliance with other parties for the upcoming elections in the state, Gehlot said it was an internal matter of the party.
He said his government has taken revolutionary decisions. “Every village, every house of Rajasthan has got the benefit of one or the other schemes of ours,” Gehlot added.
In the Sanjeevani Credit Co-operative Society scam case, Gehlot said he would apologise if Union minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat came forward to help the victims.
