Commending Modi's Swachhata Abhiyan, CM Sharma remarked, "PM Modi also addresses social concerns. Swachhata Abhiyan began on October 2." Addressing farmers, Sharma assured them of the government's dedication to fulfilling promises and treating the state's 8 crore people as their own.

On Tuesday, CM Sharma launched the 'CM Employment Festival' and laid the foundation for the PM Housing Scheme and other development projects. He reaffirmed his pledge to create 4 lakh government jobs within five years, as well as to exceed the target of creating 6 lakh private sector jobs.

"We serve the 8 crore people of Rajasthan, regardless of which political party's MLAs are in the Vidhan Sabha," said Sharma. "We are committed to meeting the people's demands and will achieve the goals we have set." (ANI)
