Rathore, who has been entrusted with the overall responsibility of organizing the Prime Minister’s programme, stated that Chief Minister Sharma and his Madhya Pradesh counterpart Yadav are scripting a historic inter-state partnership. This partnership will ensure water sufficiency in 21 districts of Rajasthan through the canal project.
The commencement of work on this critical project has been made possible by the interstate water-sharing agreement reached in New Delhi under the Centre’s facilitation.
Rathore, along with BJP state president Madan Rathore, held a meeting earlier in the day with party leaders to discuss strategies for making the Prime Minister’s programme a grand success.
