Jaipur, 23/7: BSP supremo Mayawati on Sunday lashed out at the Ashok Gehlot government in Rajasthan, saying the minimum guaranteed income bill passed by it is aimed at serving its “political interest” ahead of assembly polls.
The Rajasthan Assembly on Friday passed a bill to provide minimum guaranteed income to all adult citizens as part of a welfare package for the state.
“The Gehlot government kept sleeping like ‘Kumbhakarna’ throughout its tenure and remained embroiled in internal political upheavals, otherwise many works related to public welfare, poverty, unemployment, backwardness could have been started by the government much earlier in public interest,” she said.
