State’S Mission 2030: Shekhawat Attacks Gehlot Over State’s Mission 2030 Document |
Jaipur: Union Jal Shakti minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat on Friday questioned CM Ashok Gehlot’s release of the state’s Mission 2030 document and asked him to instead release his vision at the end of his tenure this year.
“His (Gehlot’s) election promises have proved to be a bundle of lies. Now why was this vision document prepared at the time of the elections?” asked Shekhawat at a press conference at the BJP office. He said if Gehlot were so concerned about the state, he should have created a vision document when he became the CM in 2018 and started implementing it.
Asserting that Gehlot failed to deliver on any of the promises he made during the 2018 polls despite being given a full five-year term, Shekhawat said, “I want to understand why suggestions are being sought in such a fast-paced manner. The document he released is a document of his failures. In 2003 and 2013, the public ousted him from office only because his announcements were not fulfilled. The public have also decided the same in the upcoming election. Now the people will not fall into their trap,” he said.
The Union minister criticised several points in the vision document. “They claimed to make Rajasthan a model state in terms of water, education, medicine, etc., but the reality is that no work has been done in these fields. If we talk about the Jal Jeevan Mission, the situation is very bad. A budget of Rs 30,000 crore was made available to the state under the programme, but they failed to utilise it,” he said.
Criticising the government for touting the English-medium schools in the vision document, Shekhawat said, “These schools were opened in a hurry without any preparation. Most of them do not have their own buildings or teachers. They do not have English-medium teachers and computers. They even lack toilets.”

For 160 years, wagh nakh whereabouts not documented
The origin and authenticity of the wagh nakh (tiger claw) exhibited at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London and loaned to the state of Maharashtra for three years is unclear. Historian Pandurang Balkawade disputes the museum’s claim that it was given to James Grant Duff by the prime minister of the peshwa of the Marathas after the collapse of Peshwa rule in 1818. The trail of historical objects from Chhatrapati Shivaji’s arsenal is difficult to trace due to years of warfare. The authenticity of the wagh nakh is further questioned by conflicting accounts from the Viscountess Falkland and Grant Duff’s son Mountstuart. The true origin of the wagh nakh remains a mystery.
