Rajasthan govt trying to mislead public in name of announcements: Goyal

Union Minister Piyush Goyal on Sunday targeted the Congress government in Rajasthan alleging that after four-and-a-half years of its rule, it is trying to mislead the public in the name of announcements.

Accusing the state government of blocking the schemes of the central government, he said the Centre has approved a plan of Rs 5,782 crore to bring water from Chambal in Alwar, but the "corrupt Gehlot government has blocked that too".

Goyal and BJP's national spokesperson and MP Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore interacted with media in Kotputli on the public welfare policies of the central government.

The Union Minister said that the state government could not even fulfil the promises made in its manifesto. "Promises such as providing unemployment allowance and loan waiver of farmers turned out to be lies," Goyal alleged.

He said that after four-and-a-half years of the state Congress government, it is "working to mislead the public" in the name of announcements.
