The protest followed incomplete pipeline work under the Jal Jeevan Mission. Residents have faced severe water shortages for months. Bhati asked officials when drinking water would reach the area. He received no clear timeline from the department.

Officials reportedly said they would prepare an additional plan and send it to the government. Bhati objected to what he called evasive responses. He said such delays had already caused hardship for the public. Angered by the lack of accountability, he began the sit-in on the spot.

Bhati said he has written multiple letters over the past year. He claimed the department ignored repeated warnings. Pipeline work remains unfinished, and no alternative supply exists. He stressed that villagers depend entirely on government support for drinking water.

The MLA said he would continue the dharna until officials give a written assurance. He demanded a fixed deadline for water supply restoration. The protest has drawn attention to administrative delays and long-standing water scarcity in the Shiv region.

CM Sharma, accompanied by his wife Geeta Sharma, began the day by offering prayers at the historic Govind Dev Ji Temple. The couple later visited the Moti Dungri Ganesh Temple to seek blessings. These visits reflected the Chief Minister’s emphasis on faith and humility during personal milestones.

Continuing with community-focused engagements, the Chief Minister and his wife performed gauseva at the Pinjrapol Gaushala in Sanganer. The visit highlighted the government’s commitment to animal welfare and traditional values. The couple also attended a blood donation camp organised in Jaipur, urging citizens to contribute to the life-saving initiative.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended birthday wishes to CM Sharma through a post on X. He praised Sharma’s efforts to accelerate Rajasthan’s development and empower the youth. Union Home Minister Amit Shah also conveyed greetings, lauding the Chief Minister’s work in preserving Rajasthan’s cultural heritage and strengthening welfare initiatives for farmers, women, and young people.

The day blended spirituality, service, and political reflection, underscoring CM Sharma’s governance approach rooted in public outreach.

Sharma told the leaders to engage more with workers and residents. He asked them to stay active in their constituencies and spread awareness about the government’s welfare schemes. He encouraged them to strengthen the organisation by adding new members and giving them meaningful responsibilities.

The Chief Minister highlighted the progress made in the last two years. He claimed that the BJP government has delivered more work in two years than the previous Congress government achieved in five. He said the opposition cannot respond to this direct comparison.

BJP state president Madan Rathore, Deputy CMs Diya Kumari and Dr. Premchand Bairwa, along with several ministers and MLAs, attended the meeting. The leaders approved a 15-day plan to showcase government achievements across Rajasthan.

Breaking his silence, Shekhawat said their joint travel was part of routine governmental coordination. He added that both leaders discussed administrative and political priorities, future focus areas, and how to improve inter-departmental cooperation.

Responding to questions about his calm demeanour despite a busy schedule, Shekhawat said today’s youth need meditation more than medicine. He added that work should be done like meditation—with focus and joy. Citing an RSS prayer line—“Yat Kantakāki Mārgam, Svayam Kṛtam Cha Sugamam Kāryam”—he said even a difficult path becomes easy when chosen with dedication.

While Shekhawat avoided commenting on any possible reshuffle, political circles continue to interpret the coordination between the CM and the Union Minister amid ongoing challenges like farmer issues, water scarcity, and investment growth.

As the discussion began, Raje asked, “Tell me, what’s going on these days?” Responding to this, former district president Gurupasad Patel said that administrative officers neither listen to the public nor to party workers. His frustration was evident.

Municipal Council Chairman Amrit Kalasua raised another key issue, stating that although Dungarpur consistently wins cleanliness awards, the council does not receive sufficient budget. He added that with adequate funds, new equipment could be purchased and sanitation work could be further improved.

When the media questioned Raje about the current state government’s two-year performance, she avoided a direct response, saying it wasn’t a political program. She then left for Gadhi in Banswara to meet a bereaved family.
