Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma on Thursday, 5 November 2026, stated that his government has fulfilled approximately 78% of the commitments listed in the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) election manifesto, with work accelerating on the remaining promises. Speaking during a television interaction in Jaipur, Sharma outlined the administration's progress across water security, power generation, employment, anti-corruption action, and foreign investment attraction.

Water and Energy Milestones

Sharma stated that Rajasthan is advancing rapidly toward water and energy self-sufficiency under the direction of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The state has signed four major inter-state water agreements — the Ramjal Setu Link Project, the Yamuna Water Agreement, and the Kishau and Narmada projects — aimed at securing drinking, agricultural, and industrial water supply. The state-led 'Vande Ganga' conservation campaign has reportedly contributed to rising groundwater levels across the region.

On the power front, Sharma claimed Rajasthan has transitioned from an electricity-importing state to a power-surplus state, citing an installed solar energy capacity of 51.6 GW — which the government says leads the nation. Daytime electricity is currently being supplied to farmers across 27 districts, while battery storage projects totalling 6,000 MWh are under development to address peak-demand management.

Jobs and Recruitment Drive

Addressing employment, the Chief Minister detailed a roadmap targeting 4 lakh government jobs and 6 lakh private sector opportunities. According to Sharma, 1.93 lakh public sector appointments have already been completed, with recruitment for a further 1.18 lakh positions currently in progress. In the private sector, around 5 lakh employment opportunities have been created, alongside skill training programmes for 3 lakh youth.

Zero Tolerance on Corruption

Sharma reiterated his administration's stated policy of zero tolerance toward corruption, citing action taken against misconduct inherited from previous tenures. He specifically referenced measures against paper leaks and administrative irregularities. As of the interaction date, 381 officers and employees have been suspended, and disciplinary proceedings have been initiated against approximately 700 others.

Rising Rajasthan Investment Summit

To accelerate economic expansion, the state hosted the 'Rising Rajasthan Global Investment Summit', which reportedly secured investment proposals worth ₹35 lakh crore. Of this, projects valued at ₹9 lakh crore are said to be moving toward ground-level implementation. This comes amid intensifying competition among Indian states to attract both domestic and foreign capital, with Rajasthan positioning itself as a solar energy and manufacturing destination.

Notably, translating investment proposals into operational projects has historically been a challenge across states; independent verification of the implementation timeline and actual capital deployment remains pending. How quickly the remaining 22% of manifesto commitments are delivered will be a key benchmark for the administration as it approaches the mid-term of its tenure.
