'Will Reinstate Collapsed Law & Order': Rajasthan Dy CM Diya Kumari's Dig At Congress After Taking Oath
Diya Kumari and Prem Chand Bairwa, recently appointed as Rajasthan's Deputy Chief Ministers, emphasised their commitment to instigating change and aligning with the central government's initiatives.
In their first reaction, Diya Kumari and Prem Chand Bairwa, who were sworn in as Rajasthan's Deputy Chief Ministers on Friday, stated that the newly formed BJP government in the state's focus will be "to bring a change along with the central government's schemes," citing the need for better law and order actions in the state. Later today, the two deputies and Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma took over their respective offices.
"There has been no development in Rajasthan for five years, and no work has been done here (Rajasthan). Crimes against women increased, law and order crumbled, and the state's financial situation was dire - everyone is aware of Rajasthan's situation. As our Chief Minister guides us, we will all work together. Our top priority will be to effectively implement the Central Government's schemes in the state. Because the people of Rajasthan have expressed their trust in the BJP, in Prime Minister Modi, our responsibility grows, and we will try to shoulder it well," sworn-in Deputy Chief Minister Diya Kumari was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.
