Bandikui polytechnic to be named after Jyotiba Phule

Jaipur: Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma Saturday announced that Bandikui Polytechnic College in Dausa will be named after Mahatma Jyotiba Phule, Savitri Bai Phule e-libraries will be set up in one higher secondary school in every block, and a Mahatma Jyotiba Phule Adarsh School will be established in each district.

Sharma made the announcements while addressing a state-level programme on the 200th birth anniversary of Mahatma Jyotiba Phule in Bandikui. He also inaugurated and laid the foundation stone for 213 development works costing Rs 607.6 crore in Bandikui, and announced an ROB at the Bandikui-Dausa railway crossing, along with sewerage and drainage gap works in Bandikui and Baswa Nagar Palika.

He said his govt has secured Union Cabinet approval for a 41-km-long Phase 2 metro expansion and the Pachpadra refinery.

Sharma also targeted former chief minister Ashok Gehlot, calling him a “Twitter Master”, and alleged Gehlot’s “7 to 10 km” Jaipur Metro project was built without proper planning and is “incurring a loss of Rs 10 lakh per day”.

“Congress did nothing to advance the Metro project in Jaipur. Gehlot brought only a metro project of just 7 to 10 km, and even that is incurring a loss of Rs 10 lakh per day. He only completed formality. Now, he is becoming a Twitter Master. He should leave this mastery,” Sharma said.

Targeting the Congress over paper leaks, Sharma said, “There wasn’t a single exam under Congress rule that didn’t have a paper leak.” The CM said the previous Cong govt committed a huge scam in the JJM (Jal Jeevan Mission), installing fake pipes, uprooting roads, and creating tanks, but there is no water source. “We will not let them go at any cost.”

Later, in Bundi, Sharma announced the Phase 2 tourism and development work of Ramsagar Lake, and the construction of a panorama and library based on the biography of Phule and Savitri Bai.
