One lakh government jobs

Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje said that her government would provide jobs to one lakh youths in the government sector. "We have provided jobs to 1,45,566 youths in private and about 20,000 persons in the government sector in the past one year," Raje said while replying to the debate on State Budget 2015. She added: "The state government would keep its promise of creating employment opportunities for 15 lakh youths." She was giving this statement in the assembly. She has also talked about other items in the budget presented by her.

She flayed the preceding Congress government for setting-up of refinery in the state. "Despite the state contributing for double the amount of the total cost of this project, its share was limited to merely 26 percent. 

Raje came down heavily on Congress government's decision to run metro rail project. "During my last tenure in the state, experts were consulted for Jaipur Metro project and they suggested it to be unviable. Despite this, the previous government started Jaipur Metro with project cost worth Rs. 11,732 crore. "In its first phase only Rs.3,400 crore were being spent to cover 11 kilometers. With this amount 110 flyovers or 5,000 kilometre long roads could have been laid, which would benefit the pubic directly," she said.
