Ashok Gehlot Criticizes BJP Government Over Drought and Water Crisis in Rajasthan

Jaipur, September 16: Former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has sharply criticized the BJP government in Rajasthan regarding the ongoing drought situation, crop damage, and water supply issues. He accused the government of failing to conduct surveys in affected areas and of not announcing any relief packages.

In a post on the social media platform X, Gehlot raised concerns about the challenges faced by farmers and the general public. He stated, “Almost half of Rajasthan is now experiencing drought, and the BJP government is asleep.”

Gehlot claimed that crops in the fields are beginning to wither and that the water levels in reservoirs are continuously decreasing. According to him, this is leading to increased gaps in water supply, which may result in a shortage of drinking water in the coming days. He alleged that despite these dire circumstances, the government is not paying attention.

He also questioned the lack of surveys and relief efforts in drought-affected regions. Gehlot pointed out that no surveys have been conducted in the impacted areas, nor has there been any discussion about providing relief packages. He accused the government of prioritizing elections and power over the concerns of farmers and the general public.

At the end of his post, Gehlot asked when the BJP government would pay attention to the plight of Rajasthan’s farmers and citizens. He shared a video along with his post.

Gehlot’s claims regarding the expansion of drought, decreasing water levels in reservoirs, and the absence of surveys lack district-wise data in the available posts. The response from the state government regarding these allegations is also not included in the provided content.
