Aiming for a repeat of his government in Rajasthan, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has made all preparations to intensify the campaign to reach out to every single door with the slogan “Bachat, Rahat, Badhat” (Savings, Relief and Growth). Banking on the popularity of the schemes being run by the Gehlot government, the Congress high command is also hopeful of the party’s electoral victory in all the poll-bound states, including Rajasthan. The leadership has, therefore, given Gehlot a free hand for taking decisions. As part of the campaign, starting from Monday, 700 “Mehangai Rahat Camps” are being organised in Rajasthan. These camps will be run till the year-end when elections will be held. With a little over six months to go for the Assembly elections in the state, Gehlot is seeking to keep the focus on the welfare image of his government. And, this campaign will be an effective medium for the same. “Mehangai Rahat Camp” is an outreach programme through which awareness will be created amongst the people about the government’s ten most important welfare schemes. Initially, around 700 camps will be set up, which will be scaled up to 2,700 camps. The basic purpose of these camps would be to help the eligible people register for the ten welfare schemes. The
