New Delhi : Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma met Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Parliament House on Tuesday. The meeting is being seen as significant amid ongoing global developments.
Earlier in Parliament, PM Modi had expressed concern over the energy crisis arising from the Israel–US–Iran conflict and urged states to extend cooperation. In this context, it is believed that the Chief Minister briefed the Prime Minister on the impact of global events on Rajasthan and the state government’s preparedness to address them.
This marks Bhajanlal Sharma’s second meeting with the Prime Minister in a month. The two had last met on February 28 during PM Modi’s visit to Ajmer.
According to sources, the leaders also discussed the prevailing political situation in Rajasthan, where cabinet expansion and political appointments have been pending for a long time. Preparations for upcoming panchayat and civic body elections are also underway.
The state government is reportedly keen on implementing the “One State, One Election” model, although the High Court has set an April 15 deadline for conducting elections, failing which the government may face contempt proceedings.
It is believed that the Chief Minister sought guidance from the Prime Minister on these issues.
During the meeting, CM Sharma presented PM Modi with a sandalwood idol of Goddess Durga crafted by Jaipur-based artist Mohit Jangid.
The artwork features intricate carving, expressive detailing, and traditional ornamentation, reflecting India’s rich craftsmanship. The Jangid family has been engaged in sandalwood carving for four generations, with 11 members of the family having received national awards.
The idol is seen not only as a religious symbol but also as a representation of India’s artistic excellence and cultural heritage.
