Extinction Event: Bjp-vasundhara Raje Tiff Cost Ercp National Status: Gehlot | Jaipur News
Jaipur: Chief minister Ashok Gehlot on Monday took a dig at the BJP-led Union government for not giving the East Rajasthan Canal Project (ERCP) a central project status. He said, “Why was it making the state suffer over its differences with Vasundhara Raje?”
“You are angry with Vasundhara Raje but why are you cheating the public?” he said, addressing a public rally in Baran.
The rally, held to launch a public awareness campaign on the ERCP, an ambitious project to provide drinking water in 13 districts, was also addressed by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge.
Gehlot said that the work on ERCP was started when Vasundhara Raje was the chief minister of Rajasthan but despite promises, the central government did not give it national project status.
Rajasthan is up for assembly polls in November and the ruling Congress is trying to make ERCP a big issue to rally support.
Gehlot in his speech also accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of going back on his promise. He said that despite the people of the state giving all 25 MPs to the NDA in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, people of the state did not receive anything in return.
The ERCP is supposed to provide irrigation water to 2 lakh hectare of land and drinking water to 13 districts in eastern Rajasthan.
“We have been demanding for five years that the project be given national status, but the central government is adamant about not declaring it the due recognition. The issue has touched a chord with every household in eastern Rajasthan,” Gehlot said.
Congress general secretary KC Venugopal, state party in-charge Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa, Assembly speaker C P Joshi, and Congress state president Govind Singh Dotasra attended the programme.

Message for Vasundhara Raje? BJP MP says ‘PM Modi thinking of bringing fresh leadership in Rajasthan’
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is considering bringing fresh leadership in the state of Rajasthan, according to Jaipur Rural MP Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore. The party has fielded several MPs in the upcoming assembly elections and has made it clear that it will not project any chief ministerial face. This has put pressure on Vasundhara Raje, a senior leader in the state, who faces protests from her loyalists who were left out of the first BJP list. The party has formed a committee to address the matter and will need to maintain unity to capitalize on its advantage in the state.
