The President of the BJP's state unit and Rajya Sabha MP, Madan Rathore, emphasized that the party is dedicated to the development of villages and farmers under the motto of 'Gramodaya se Rashtroday.' Various initiatives are being implemented under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership to support farmers from seed to market and enhance rural prosperity.

Rathore highlighted that the BJP government in Rajasthan, led by Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma, has made significant strides in irrigation facilities and fencing of fields.

Similarly, he claimed that the Congress regime managed to fence 113 lakh meters of fields, whereas the BJP has accomplished 445 lakh meters.

He mentioned that projects like the Ramjal Setu, the plan to supply water from the Yamuna to the Shekhawati region, and the Kisaau project will play a crucial role in enriching Rajasthan's farmers and villages.

Rathore also revealed that the BJP's manifesto for the upcoming Panchayati Raj elections includes commitments to provide farmers with an annual honorarium of 12,000 rupees, daytime electricity for irrigation, and the creation of 1 million jobs. Additionally, there are plans to facilitate bank loans worth 10,000 crore rupees for self-help groups, increase the maternal assistance amount from 5,000 to 8,000 rupees, and raise the pension for widows and deserted women to 1,500 rupees.

He stated that the commitment to allocate 5 crore rupees for development projects in each village will provide a new direction for rural development. The BJP aims to strengthen villages to accelerate overall development in the state.
