Bengal needs double-engine govt for rapid development: Rajasthan CM

Jaipur, April 18 Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma stated that self-respect and patriotism are deeply ingrained in the ethos of every Rajasthani.

He said that wherever Rajasthanis go across the country or around the world, they establish a distinct identity through their dedication to social causes and hard work. They maintain a strong connection with both their Karmabhoomi (place of work) and Janmabhoomi (place of birth), while continuously enhancing Rajasthan's pride through their achievements.

The Chief Minister was addressing the ‘Rajasthan Pravasi Sammelan’ held in Kolkata on Saturday, the second day of his visit to West Bengal.

He noted that the State Government is actively strengthening ties with the Rajasthani diaspora through the Rajasthan Foundation, which currently operates 40 chapters across the country and abroad.

Earlier, Sharma visited the Kalighat Temple, where he performed a traditional puja and sought the blessings of Goddess Kali for the happiness, prosperity, and well-being of the people of Rajasthan.

He also visited the Govindam International Society for Krishna Consciousness Temple in Ballygunge, Kolkata, where he offered prayers to Lord Radha Krishna and interacted warmly with devotees.

The Chief Minister asserted that a political change in West Bengal is inevitable and called upon people to unite in support of the Bharatiya Janata Party. He stated that if West Bengal aspires to achieve development on the lines of Rajasthan, it must work towards ensuring maximum support for the Bharatiya Janata Party.

He emphasised that under a “Double-Engine Government,” the state can experience rapid, transformative development.

Highlighting Rajasthan’s strengths, Sharma said the state holds immense potential across sectors such as industry, energy, tourism, and social welfare.

He noted that Rajasthan’s mineral wealth and iconic tourist destinations have earned global recognition. Its lakes, forts, havelis, deserts, and religious sites attract visitors from across India and abroad.

Referring to PM Modi's vision, he said the State Government is committed to the concept of “Heritage with Development.” As part of this initiative, 662 historical havelis in the Shekhawati region have been identified for conservation and restoration.

The Chief Minister stated that the government is undertaking extensive development across sectors, including agriculture, electricity, and water supply. Efforts are being made to ensure reliable and uninterrupted services across all districts. Farmers in 24 districts are now receiving electricity during the daytime.

He also highlighted that the “Rising Rajasthan Investment Summit” has created significant employment opportunities for the youth.
