Referring to his government’s public welfare schemes, Gehlot said these are not freebies (Revdi) and are being implemented with “excellent” financial management.

He said, “My announcements are not just announcements, I have done what I have said.”

During the event, Gehlot also handed out Annapurna Food Packets to a selection of beneficiaries.

Food and Civil Supplies Minister Pratap Singh Khachariyawas and Congress state president Govind Singh Dotasra were also present on the occasion.

Every package under this initiative will comprise chickpea lentils, sugar, salt, cooking oil, red chili powder, coriander powder, and turmeric powder. Providing these food parcels to recipients at an estimated cost of approximately INR 370 per package (covering all expenditures) would lead to a monthly outlay of around INR 392 crore.

This scheme is part of Chief Minister Gehlot’s INR 19,000 crore “Inflation Relief Package”, which was announced by him to provide relief to the public from the burden of inflation.
