We have done that in the last five years, and the voters recognise that,” Mr. Gehlot says, settling in for an exclusive interview well past midnight, but by no means his last engagement of Sunday. “He has set the agenda this time, and the BJP is reacting to him,” a political strategist who works with Mr. Gehlot says. “We will give an annual honorarium of ₹10,000 to women heads of the family, the government will purchase animal dung at ₹2 per kg to help farmers, every student joining a government college will get a laptop or a tablet, the Chiranjeevi health insurance that covers up to ₹25 lakh in medical expenses will expand to include accident insurance of ₹15 lakh, English-medium schooling will be free for all, one crore families will get cooking gas at ₹500 per cylinder – 76 lakh families already get it – and the restoration of the old pension scheme will be legislated,” Mr. Gehlot lists the seven guarantees that form the core of the Congress campaign. Venugopalji also happens to be a member of Rajya Sabha from Rajasthan.” Setting the agenda The centrality of Mr. Gehlot in Rajasthan is more notable in the BJP campaign.
