Jaipur, October 27 (IANS) Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi on Monday in what the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) described as a courtesy call.
Meanwhile, CM Sharma took to his
He said, “The support of the Prime Minister always inspires us to move forward on the path of public service. Under his visionary leadership, our government is fully committed to the all-round development and public welfare of the state by realizing the vision of #AapnoAagraniRajasthan.”
The meeting, which lasted for about an hour, focused on major developmental issues and ongoing projects in Rajasthan.
This was CM Sharma’s first meeting with the Prime Minister after Diwali. During the discussion, the two leaders reviewed the progress of projects funded by the Central Government and ongoing development initiatives across the state.
Officials said that CM Sharma informed the Prime Minister about various welfare and infrastructure schemes being implemented in Rajasthan with central assistance.
After the meeting, the Chief Minister returned to Jodhpur House in Delhi. He is also scheduled to meet several other senior leaders during his visit. During the meeting, CM Sharma also gave a formal invitation to PM Modi to participate in the Rajasthani Migrant Day to be organized on 10th December.
Officials said the event, being organized for the first time by the Rajasthan government, aims to strengthen the bond between the state and the global Rajasthani community and encourage investment and cooperation in various sectors. This was CM Sharma’s third meeting with PM Modi in three months.
Earlier, both of them had met in Parliament House on 29th July. Later on September 25, PM Modi visited Banswara, where he was accompanied by CM Sharma and BJP state president Madan Rathod.
However, this meeting is also being seen from a political perspective. Even after the formation of BJP government in Rajasthan, the cabinet expansion has not taken place yet. This has intensified speculation that CM Sharma and PM Modi might have discussed this issue during the meeting.
It is also being said that the CM Sharma government will complete two years of its tenure on December 15 and in this context, he is believed to have briefed the PM about the government’s performance and key initiatives taken in the last two years.
