Jaipur, March 24 (NationPress) Former Chief Minister of Rajasthan, Ashok Gehlot, launched a scathing critique of the current state administration's capabilities via his digital initiative, “Intezaar Shashtra”, which translates to the science of waiting. He emphasized that the government has fallen short in delivering employment opportunities to the youth.

On the second day following the launch of his series, Gehlot brought attention to the significant delays within the recruitment process of the education department.

He criticized what he termed as “grand promises with minimal follow-through,” stating, “The BJP government proclaimed 10,000 job openings in the education sector amidst bold declarations, yet the truth is that no notifications have been released, nor have exams taken place.”

Gehlot further remarked, “This is not merely a case of administrative negligence; it directly undermines the future of millions of young individuals. The continuous revisions of timelines and unmet commitments are damaging their faith.”

Contrasting his administration's record, Gehlot asserted that the Congress government had established “clear and timely recruitment protocols,” whereas the current youth are compelled to endure prolonged waiting periods and despair.

He posed urgent inquiries: “How much longer will the youth remain in limbo? When will the pledge for 10,000 jobs materialize?”

In closing, he warned, “This injustice against the aspirations of the youth will not be accepted,” promoting his campaign with the hashtag #IntezaarShastra.

Gehlot’s comprehensive campaign, initiated earlier this week, aims to shed light on what he perceives as a trend of halted public welfare initiatives under the leadership of Bhajanlal Sharma.

He pointed out that projects started during the previous Congress administration have either stagnated or been postponed, resulting in not only increased costs but also delays in delivering benefits to the public.

A notable example he mentioned is the Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Governance and Social Sciences (MIGSS) located in Jaipur. This institute, conceived during his tenure and inspired by prestigious institutions such as TISS and MIT Pune, was intended to serve as a beacon of excellence in governance and public policy.

Gehlot claimed that this project, constructed at a cost of Rs 233 crore on JLN Marg, was completed by 2024 but remains unopened.

He accused the government of politically motivated delays, labeling them as “an act of political malice,” and urged that such “centers of learning” should be insulated from party politics.

In response, the BJP dismissed Gehlot’s remarks as misleading and politically driven. Jogaram Patel, the Parliamentary Affairs Minister, countered the claims, asserting that the preceding Congress administration was itself marked by inefficiency and delays, leaving citizens waiting for solutions across various sectors.

As the exchange of criticisms escalates, Intezaar Shashtra is evolving into a political narrative focused on governance, accountability, and the aspirations of Rajasthan’s youth, according to Gehlot's team, who noted that the series will persist for several weeks.
