Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma asserted
a corruption-free administration, women’s safety, and strong law and order are
the priorities of the new Rajasthan Government being led by him.
Chairing a meeting with senior officials
of all departments at the Government Secretariat in Jaipur, CM Sharma said the State
Government will follow Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s policy of ‘zero tolerance’
towards corruption.
“We have to make a meaningful
contribution in taking the light of development spread by the PM to every
corner of the State. We have to move forward only on the vision of Sabka
Saath-Sabka Vikas-Sabka Vishwas,” an official statement quoted CM Sharma as
saying.
“Our schemes, programmes and policies
should be effectively implemented and reach the common people. For this, we
will have to work for the development of the state at the grassroots level,
keeping the spirit of service paramount,” the newly sworn-in CM added.
He said the role of administrative
officers is significant in taking the State forward, calling upon them to work
in the public interest with “meaningful participation and team spirit”.
The CM said every officer should listen
to his conscience and discharge his responsibilities towards the public with
integrity and excellence.
He said all the financial expenses will
be monitored to ensure that every penny can be used for public welfare.
If any case of corruption comes to light
at any level, accountability would be fixed and the strictest action would be
taken against the offenders, CM Sharma said, adding that those who protect the
corrupt will also not be spared.
The chief minister said the BJP Government
aims to fulfil the promises it made to the public in the ‘Sankalp Patra’
manifesto. He asked the officials to prepare a 100-day action plan based on the
resolution letter in their respective departments and submit it within 10 days.
