Activists participating in jawabdehi dharna in Rajasthan have said their protest will continue until the statute is enacted

JAIPUR: Information and livelihood rights activists in Rajasthan have shifted their emphasis from enactment of a transparency and social accountability law to an early introduction of the Bill on the subject, following a budgetary announcement in the State Assembly.

The ruling Congress had, in its manifesto for the 2018 Assembly election, promised to bring the legislation.

Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot announced the decision to bring a Right to Service Guarantee and Accountability Bill and launch the Indira Gandhi Urban Employment Guarantee Scheme to provide 100 days of employment with an outlay of Rs.800 crore in his budget speech on February 23.

Activists participating in a jawabdehi dharna at Shaheed Smarak here have demanded early tabling of the Bill in the Assembly, followed by its enactment into a law. They have also announced that the dharna would continue until the statute is enacted, while pointing out that Mr. Gehlot had made a similar announcement in his budget speech in 2019.

Mazdoor Kisan Shakti Sangathan (MKSS) leader and right to information activist Nikhil Dey said the enactment of the legislation on social accountability would not only help the people struggling to get the benefits of government schemes, but would also ensure effective implementation of other budgetary announcements at the grassroots level.

The jawabdehi dharna has devoted its deliberations to different themes each day since it started on February 22. The topics covered by the activists so far have included the right to health care, law for protection of whistle blowers and the legislation for allocation of funds for the welfare of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes every year in proportion to their population.
