The state government is following the policy of zero tolerance on corruption, which is visible to all.” He said, “Everyone knows that action is being taken against corruption in Rajasthan and no one involved in corruption cases is being spared.

Sharma also hit back at the BJP over allegations of poor law and order situation in the state, saying registration of FIRs is mandatory in Rajasthan and this has given people the confidence to report crimes. “Earlier, many crimes went unreported because people hesitated to go to the police station thinking that the case would not be registered and they would be humiliated.

“But now under the Congress rule, every FIR is registered and reception rooms have been set up in police stations, which has brought a positive change in the system,” Sharma said.
