The way the programme in Jaipur has been organised is commendable. Hearing beneficiaries are wonderful. Our aim is inclusive and all-round development. We are not bothered about caste, creed and community. In our eyes, all citizens are equals, the PM added.”The Central Government and the State Government are working together for the progress of Rajasthan,” he added.The Prime Minister’s comments come after he laid the foundation stone for 13 urban infrastructure projects with a total worth of over Rs 2,100 crore rupees on Saturday.
