Rajasthan Minister Urges Locals to Embrace Eco-Friendly Diwali Traditions

Jaipur, November 3 (Daily Kiran) : Rajasthan’s Cabinet Minister Joraram Kumawat has called on citizens to adopt the “Vocal for Local” initiative this Diwali. Speaking in Jaipur, he emphasized that lighting clay and cow dung lamps can bolster local artisans’ livelihoods while also benefiting the environment.

Kumawat highlighted the importance of following the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma. He stated, “By using locally made lamps, we can provide economic support to artisans and ensure a cleaner environment.”

He further explained that purchasing foreign products only benefits other countries. “If we promote local goods, it will strengthen our own economy,” he added. With the festival of lights approaching, Kumawat urged the public to support those who make these eco-friendly lamps.

On the topic of the ongoing Panchayati Raj elections, he expressed confidence that the BJP would secure victories across the state. “So far, two phases of the elections have been completed, and the third phase is currently underway. The support we are receiving from the public gives us hope for success in electing party leaders and district heads,” he remarked.

Reflecting on recent municipal elections, Kumawat noted that the BJP won 204 out of 309 local bodies, solidifying their governance. He praised Chief Minister Bhajanlal for his efforts to uplift the poor and implement welfare schemes effectively.

Kumawat also commented on the BJP’s “Save Democracy, End Anarchy” campaign, stating that under Modi’s leadership, the government has focused on empowering citizens, enhancing economic growth, and strengthening infrastructure, including railways and airports. He accused the opposition of resorting to unethical tactics to remove the BJP from power and emphasized the need for the party’s campaign running from October 22 to November 5.
