Raj govt hasn't done anything remarkable: former speaker

Former Rajasthan Assembly Speaker Sumitra Singh today accused the Vasundhara Raje government of not doing anything for good governance in the state, despite coming to power with a huge mandate.
"The government is just taking care of upcoming event of Resurgent Rajasthan but there is no good governance in the state," she said.
"The government hasn't done anything remarkable in the last two years. It has stalled refinery project which is also condemnable," the former speaker said.
Sumitra, who is the chairperson of Lok Sangharsh Morcha, demanded a ban on liquor and a stronger Lokayukta in the state.
She expressed solidarity with former MLA Gurusharan Chhabra who is on fast from October 2 in support of his demand to ban liquor in Rajasthan and was picked up by police last night.

"We all are with ex-MLA Gurucharan Chhabra who for the fourth time began his fast to press for the demand," she said.

"Two senior ministers had assured him of considering his demand last year after which the agitation was called off. When no step was taken in that direction, he began the fast again on October 2, but it is very unfortunate that no representative from the government met him," Sumitra said.
She said Chhabra was picked up by police forcefully last night from the protest spot, Shaheed Memorial near police commission's office, and hospitalised.
Sawai Singh, Core committee member of the Morcha, said that public support will be sought for the ex-MLA and the demand of complete ban on liquor will be raised at every appropriate level.
