Congress takes dig over ‘delay’ in cupboard formation

The Congress took a dig on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for its “delay” in constituting a cupboard in Rajasthan even 26 days after assuming energy.

“Results to Assembly elections in Rajasthan were announced on Dec 3, 2023. It took 12 days (till Dec 15, 2023) for the BJP to announce the CM and two Deputy CMs,” Congress chief Jairam Ramesh mentioned.

“26 days have gone by and Rajasthan still does not have a Cabinet and Council of Ministers,” he added.

Former chief minister Ashok Gehlot additionally talked in regards to the ramifications of the delayed cupboard formation on governance.

Taking to X (previously Twitter), Gehlot wrote, “Disappointment has now started spreading among the public because the people of Rajasthan gave a clear mandate to BJP on 3rd December, but even after 22 days, the cabinet has not been formed yet, due to which governance has come to a standstill. Every department is also in a state of confusion. The public is watching which ministers they should approach to solve their problems. The cabinet should be formed as soon as possible so that the functioning of the government can run smoothly.”
