Jaipur. Former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot visited the Gandhi Vatika Museum in Jaipur and described it as the “number 1 museum” of the country. He appreciated its grandeur, but at the same time accused the current government of negligence in the promotion and maintenance of this important heritage. Gehlot said that in view of the atmosphere of violence and hatred in the country, it is the moral responsibility of the governments to convey Gandhi’s messages to the people. Talking to the media, Gehlot said that Mahatma Gandhi’s idols are installed in many countries of the world, but this museum made in Jaipur is the best of its kind, which has been prepared hard. He regretted that the government, which spends crores of rupees on advertisements, is not taking any steps to popularize this museum. He said that there was a plan to show it free for a year during his government, so that tourists and new generations from India and abroad could understand Gandhiji’s views.
Gehlot said that in the environment that has been created in the country today, to save democracy, it is also necessary that the people should be taught to follow the path of Gandhi. He questioned that if governments are spending crores of rupees, then why is Gandhi’s message not being publicized to convey to the new generation?
The former Chief Minister also expressed concern over the maintenance of the museum. He said that this building, built at a cost of crores of rupees, has seen some shortcomings. He hoped that the government would pay attention to this, because if it is not maintained in time, it would break and repair would be difficult. He said that he has talked to the officials concerned and is trying to maintain its quality. Gehlot said that his visit was to popularize the museum and he hopes that the government will now promote it by creating a program for it.
