Congress's Rajasthan unit will hold a rally here tomorrow to protest against the "anti-people" policies of the Vasundhara Raje government, and its plan to stop the Jaipur Metro and oil refinery projects.

The "Chetna Rally" from the state party headquarters to Statue Circle will be led by Rajasthan Pradesh Congress Committee president Sachin Pilot, a party spokesman said.

The party activists will also submit a memorandum to the Chief Secretary demanding continuation of Jaipur Metro and Pachpadra oil refinery and petrochemical projects and other welfare schemes of the erstwhile Congress government.

Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly Rameshwar Dudi told reporters that the BJP government in the past 60 days had stopped the previous Congress regime's flagship schemes, including Food Security scheme in which wheat was sold to consumers at Rs 2 per kg and Re one per kg to BPL families.
 

On the power front, the Raje government had failed to provide sufficient electricity for agriculture connections, Dudi alleged.
