Targeting the previous Congress government during the election campaign in Karanpur, Joshi said that during their rule, people were troubled by 'misgovernance' and the morale of criminals was high.
Joshi said the Congress cheated the people of Rajasthan by promising to eradicate poverty and bring good governance.
"The people of the state, troubled by the misgovernance of Congress for five years, trusted the Modi guarantee and elected a strong BJP government which, as soon as it came to power, started working on the promises made in the manifesto and made arrangements to provide gas cylinders at ₹450 from January 1," he said.
The BJP leader said that to ensure prompt action in paper leak cases, a Special Investigation Team was formed and an anti-gangster task force was formed to punish the criminals.
