Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has announced the creation of 19 new districts and three new divisions in the state. The decision is aimed at improving administrative efficiency and bringing governance closer to the people.
The move comes as a significant administrative restructuring of Rajasthan, expanding the number of districts to ensure better delivery of public services. The government believes smaller districts will help citizens access official work more conveniently.
However, the opposition BJP has termed the announcement a political stunt, questioning the timing and intent behind the decision. The party has criticized the Gehlot government for what it calls an attempt to gain political mileage rather than genuine administrative reform.
