Cong Yatra to highlight achievements of UPA, Raj govt: Gehlot

The Congress Sandesh Yatra will highlight the achievements, flagship programmes and pro-people decisions of UPA government and the Rajasthan government, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said today.
The yatra planned by the PCC, in view of assembly polls due later this year, is slated to begin on Saturday from the party's state headquarters here.
"We will tell people about the achievements and flagship programmes of the UPA government and the state government, so that people can come forward and co-operate in these programmes," Gehlot told reporters at PCC office.
He sought support of social organisations and youths in proper implementation of schemes.

Commenting on the BJP, Gehlot said the opposition party failed to emerge as a replacement of the Congress as it lacked vision to come up with programmes and policies for welfare of people and the country.
In Rajasthan, he said, various pro-people decisions were taken and flagship schemes launched, which delivered encouraging results in the Congress government.
The CM said the future of the desert state is bright following exploration of oil and gas and availability of other minerals.
