Jaipur: Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma on Monday said none of the welfare schemes launched by the previous Congress government in the state will be discontinued.
He was speaking at a function organised by the BJP to mark Good Governance Day on the birth anniversary of former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
Reacting to the allegations by the Congress that his government would discontinue the public welfare schemes launched by the previous government, Sharma said, ‘Congress people are saying our work, our schemes... I want to tell you that we will not stop any of the schemes.’
The chief minister said free medicines will continue to be made available at the government hospitals and the number of essential drugs would also be increased.
Vajyapee made schemes for the welfare of the poor and Prime Minister Narendra Modi took the initiative forward, Sharma said.
