Jaipur, Jan. 11 -- The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led government has ended the era of corruption and established a stable law and order situation in Rajasthan, Union home minister Amit Shah said on Saturday. Addressing an event at the Rajasthan Police Academy (RPA) where he distributed appointment letters to at least 9,000 new constables who will join the state police next week, Shah said: "These new recruitments mark a full stop to all corruption in the state. With his excellence in governance, the Bhajan Lal Sharma-led BJP government in Rajasthan has successfully ended the cycle of corruption that was started by the previous Congress government." He added: "The Rajasthan Police is now one of the strongest forces in the country. In just two years, our government has proved that a major change can be achieved with the proper vision and will. In two years, Rajasthan witnessed an over 14% decline in the overall crime rate, including a 19% drop in serious crimes, a 25% drop in murder cases, a 10% decline in crimes against women, a 28% decline in crimes against SC-ST communities, and a 51% drop in looting cases." Shah also emphasised that the replacement of the Indian Penal Code with the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita has brought significant improvement to Rajasthan's justice system. "The new laws incorporate advanced technologies while focusing on improving the police's work procedures, jail system, prosecution process, and forensic science laboratories (FSL)-all of which have been linked digitally. New chapters have also been introduced to address crimes against women and children," he said. At another event in Jodhpur, Shah said the dream of a self-reliant India will place our country as the largest economy in the world. Inaugurating a global expo summit organised by the Maheshwari International Convention, Shah said, "The dream of an Atmanirbhar Bharat will only place India as the biggest economy in the world one day. (Prime Minister Narendra) Modi started leading this country when we were 11th biggest economy, but today we are at fourth place in the world. I am sure we will become the third biggest economy by next year." Calling upon everyone to contribute to making an Atmanirbhar Bharat, Shah added, "To make India a self-reliant country, we need to promote and increase the usage of domestic products while prioritising our mother tongues in every sector. Our own languages keep our culture and ideas alive." Shah called the Maheshwari community "job creators" instead of "job seekers". "I hope every young person in our country learns from them how to carry the pride of our own language and make the promotion of domestic products the mantra of their lives," he said. Addressing the event, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla said, "The Maheshwari community has taught us how to contribute to the country's development with entrepreneurship and new ideas. This is the time for a big change. We have to fulfil PM Modi's dreams for this country. The Maheshwari community is a progressive society. They have built their identity through service and sacrifice." CM Sharma also said, "This community's efforts and contributions to the Rising Rajasthan Global Investment Summit and Pravasi Rajasthani Divas Summit will always be remembered. They have participated at a large number in both the summits, signed a bunch of MoUs and are also working to implement them on the ground for the development of our state." Reacting to Shah's visit, former CM Ashok Gehlot accused the Centre of failing to deliver justice to the family of tailor Kanhaiya Lal, who was murdered in Udaipur in 2022. Gehlot said in a statement that Shah should break his "political silence" and explain when the family would get justice....
