"Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma is expected to make multiple announcements, including regarding fresh government job openings - Sources"

Jaipur, Feb 27

The Rajasthan Assembly is set to pass the state Budget for the financial year 2026-27 on Friday evening, with several fresh announcements expected during the concluding debate.

The Appropriation Bill will be taken up for discussion after Zero Hour and debated throughout the day in the Assembly.

Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma will reply to the Budget debate at 5 pm, following an address by Leader of the Opposition Tika Ram Jully.

During his reply, Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma is expected to make multiple announcements, including regarding fresh government job openings and district-wise development projects.

Sources indicate that sectors not covered in the main Budget speech may receive attention today.

New roads, bridges, and rural infrastructure projects are likely to be announced by Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma to address local development demands.

With civic body and panchayat elections approaching, the Rajasthan government may also introduce village and city-focussed schemes.

The passage of the Budget nearly a month before the new financial year begins is expected to give various government departments adequate time to initiate preparatory work and ensure timely implementation of the proposed schemes.

Meanwhile, the Opposition Congress party is likely to raise the issue of its MLA allegedly being prevented from speaking in the House by the Speaker.

On February 26, during the debate on demands for grants, Congress MLA Shravan Kumar was stopped by the Speaker, triggering a major uproar in the House.

The Congress party subsequently boycotted the proceedings of the Assembly that evening.

At a meeting of the Congress Legislature Party on Friday, leaders have formulated their strategy in the CLP meeting and decided to raise the issue again in the House.

Another heated exchange in the Assembly is expected, said party workers.

The focus on rural infrastructure is much needed. My village in Barmer has been waiting for a proper road connection for years. I hope the district-wise projects are announced clearly and not lost in political noise.

All this sounds good, but will the opposition be allowed to speak? Stopping an MLA from raising points is not how a democracy functions. The budget discussion should be thorough, not a one-sided announcement.

As someone who works in urban planning, I'm keenly watching for the city-focussed schemes. Jaipur's traffic and waste management need serious budgetary allocation. Hope it's not all about pre-election promises.

Job openings announcement before the budget is passed? That's interesting timing. Makes you wonder if it's genuine planning or just a headline grabber before the local body elections. The proof will be in the implementation.

The article mentions "sectors not covered" might get attention. That's crucial. Often healthcare and education get sidelined in these big infrastructure-focused budgets. Hope there's something for government schools and primary health centres too.
