Rajasthan's scenario can be best described as "confused CM, fuse governance", Leader of Opposition in Rajasthan legislative assembly Rameshwar Dudi charged today, while holding Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje responsible for rampant corruption under her two-year rule in the state.
"Rajasthan's scenario today is 'confused CM, fuse governance'. The state is facing drought-like situation but the government is preparing to celebrate its second anniversary on December 13, which is very disappointing," Dudi said at a press conference here.
"Law and order situation deteriorated under the BJP rule and corruption is rampant. Serious corruption allegations have been levelled against Chief Minister Raje and she should step down and face a probe," he said.
Dudi said that several farmers committed suicide due to damage to their crops but the government failed to act.
"The government spent nearly a year preparing for resurgent Rajasthan summit but it turned out to be a useless expenditure," the Congress leader said.
He also underlined the deteriorating condition of Indira Gandhi Canal as well as the power hikes in the state.
He said that the energy department could not control transmission and distribution losses in the last two years but hiked power tariff, putting the burden on people of the state.
A big scam in mines took place which is not possible without the patronage at the highest level of the government, Dudi alleged.
The Opposition leader added that the government had no moral right to celebrate the second anniversary of its formation due to the sorry state of affairs in the state.
