Jaipur: Rajasthan Congress president Govind Singh Dotasara has announced a set of promises focused on civic services and urban welfare, including providing land leases at a nominal cost of ₹500.
Dotasara said Congress would work to make household waste collection free, with garbage picked up directly from homes. He also promised that sanitation workers would be recruited every year to strengthen municipal cleanliness services.
The announcements come amid heightened political activity surrounding Rajasthan's local-body elections, with parties seeking to appeal to urban residents through promises related to basic services, employment and property rights.
The sanitation pledge also comes at a time when Rajasthan has announced a major recruitment drive for sanitation workers. Available recruitment information indicates 24,752 sanitation-worker positions across 183 urban local bodies in the state.
Congress leaders are expected to highlight civic infrastructure and municipal services as key election issues, while the implementation and financial feasibility of the proposed ₹500 land-lease and free waste-collection measures are likely to remain important questions for voters.
Key Promises
₹500 land leases for eligible beneficiaries.
Free door-to-door garbage collection from households.
Annual recruitment of sanitation workers.
Greater focus on municipal cleanliness and basic civic services.
