Rajasthan Congress president Govind Singh Dotasra has leveled sharp criticisms at the BJP, accusing the ruling party of failing to deliver on its promises to farmers. He pointed out that the BJP had assured farmers of minimum income support, improved MSP on wheat, and loan waivers, but these promises remain unfulfilled.

Reacting to the release of funds under the PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme to 65 lakh farmers by Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma, Dotasra highlighted that the BJP's promise of Rs 12,000 per year to farmers had only increased to Rs 8,000, with just Rs 1,000 being disbursed recently.

Dotasra asserted that instead of fulfilling their electoral promises, the BJP government in Rajasthan focuses on grand events for advertising. He claimed the previous Congress government had waived Rs 14,000 crore of farmers' debt and provided free electricity for agricultural use, contrasting sharply with the BJP's record.
