Jaipur, Apr 9 (PTI) Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma on Tuesday said the Lok Sabha elections will prove to be a milestone in taking the country and the state forward.
He said that India’s fame has increased all over the world under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership and the world is looking at India with hopeful eyes.
Addressing a public meeting in Sonadi, Barmer, Sharma said that even the basic necessities of life like education, medicine, electricity and water were not properly available to the citizens of the country during the Congress rule.
“But in the last 10 years, there has been progress in development of the country. There has been a revolutionary change,” he said.

The chief minister said that fulfilling the water requirement is the first priority of his government.
“Water supply for irrigation and drinking water is being ensured in the state through ERCP and Tajewala Headworks Yamuna Water Agreement,” he said.
