Cheers & jeers

Congress’s eccentric ‘inventions’ to attack Raje government for its alleged failures in past four years continue to be revealed without any break. A day after Rajasthan Pradesh Congress Committee president, Sachin Pilot revealed a ‘digital bill board’ showing countdown of the ruling party in power, the Leader of Opposition, Rameshwar Dudi on Wednesday appeared with a ‘black box’. 

The black box (an electronic recording device placed in aircrafts) when recovered post accident of a plane,  ascertains the technical cause of the mishap and accordingly a factual report is drafted. Implying the same concept metaphorically,  Dudi brought a box in which 52 cards were written with the causes (read scams, failures, issues and broken promises” which,  according to him, detail Raje’s government crashing. 

“The CM in Suraj Sankalp Patra had made 611 poll promises, of them, even 40 percent were not fulfilled. I have 52 questions in the ‘black box’, which is a bundle of promises which have not worked out till date. I will forward the box to the CM, ministers and MLAs seeking their reply and also the same will be tabled in next assembly session,” told Dudi to the scribes, accusing the government further for using public money to celebrate its fourth anniversary, while it did nothing for them. He expressed confidence that party will come into the power with a thumb majority. 

The issues written on cards ask questions about poor implementation of ambitious projects- Metro and Refinery, non compliance of complete loan waiver for farmers, poor state of Indira Gandhi Canal, ownership of Dholpur palace, unemployment, Mining scam, farmers suicide, increasing rate of crimes, death of newborn in the government hospitals and delay in Banswara rally project etc.  In two days, the Congress leaders were found cornering Raje government on achievements it claims.
