  • The Rajasthan Government has issued a gazette notification regarding the abolishment of three newly formed divisions and nine districts amid a war of words between leaders of the ruling BJP and the opposition Congress over the reversal of the previous Ashok Gehlot regime's decision.

The Rajasthan government, led by Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma, has decided to abolish 17 newly created districts and three divisions, reversing a decision made by the previous Congress government. This move has sparked a political debate, with the BJP government arguing that the creation of these districts was politically motivated and lacked proper infrastructure and planning. The decision was made during a cabinet meeting on March 17, 2024, and has led to criticism from the Congress party, which accuses the BJP of playing politics with administrative decisions. The affected districts include Anupgarh, Balotra, Beawar, among others, and the divisions are Banswara, Pali, and Sikar. The government plans to revert to the administrative setup as it was before the Congress government's changes, aiming to streamline governance and reduce administrative costs.
